What do you call a word that describes itself?

You might be looking for onomatopoeia; these are words where the sound of the word describes the meaning of the word - some examples are "buzz", "clang", "click". What you're really looking for is autological. Autological words have the property they define. "Humongous" for instance, could be considered autological. "Awkward" could be considered one also, because it is a very awkward word. The antonym for autological is heterological. Heterological words do not posess the property they define. "Big" is heterological.
