Isn't it when you use a word to describe an action. Like using Pow in the old Batman show to show that he or Robin would punch someone.

its when the word sounds like the sound it is used for.example boom ,bang,meow.

I think that means a word that sounds like the sound it makes... like "whoosh". Am I right?

It's a word that evokes or imitates the sound to which it refers, such as splash, thump, clang.

Clank Whoosh Crraack etc
-
It's a word that, when you read it, sounds like the sound it would actually make. Like buzz or thump.

Yes, I knew this one. Just because as a kid my mother loved the sound of the word itself and would always comment when she heard someone use an onomatopoeia. Splat

That's an easy one. Far fewer know "crwth" without looking.

I do! it means to make up a word that sounds like a sound... eg. Bang! Smash! Trickle. Crash! Thump.

Many, I would say, especially in Greece. ;-)

I know what it means AND I can spell it! XD
-
A word that when sounded out is part of the description of the same word. My favourite example would be "queef".

Swish. I love the word onomatopoeia too, but cant spell it!
-
BAM!!!!!!!!!!!!

OK, I'm not looking at anyone's answer nor the dictionary. I think it's a word that was created because of the sound it makes...like..."boom."
