Is spew an onomatopoeia

Answer 1

It can be argued whether or not spew is an onomatopoeia, but most will agree it is not. The definition of spew is to expel large quantities of something forcibly. Spew can be used to describe vomiting and puking. Onomatopoeia is used to describe a word that sounds like what it means. Such as the word buzz.

Answer 2

Yes, "spew" is considered an onomatopoeia because it imitates the sound or action it describes, like the sound of something forcefully rushing out.
