I THINK you mean onomatopoeia. That is when a word resembles the sound the thing makes. When a gun shoots, it makes a sound. We call the sound a bang, because it sounds a bit like BANG. BTW, there is a night bird where I live called a whipoorwill. The call of the bid is "whip-poor-will". the name of the bird is another example of onomatopeia.
