I'm afraid not. Onomatopoeia is a word that imitates the sound it is referring to, with more or less fidelity. Do you know any cats that really say “meow”? If you still doubt it, I invite you to check this article from the French wiktionary.spiraldoor said:Onomatopoeia is when a word sounds like what it means. Are you saying that when French people fart, it makes a "prout" noise, or did you confuse the word with another...?
Still, I can't believe I'm debating over the word “prout”.
