"Onomatopoeia" is the name for The Use Of the descriptive kind of word you're thinking of. Also for The Process Of Creating any new such word: one which itself will sound like or be representative of the sound of the thing it names & so describes - a verb, adverb, adjective, or noun. When a word actually sounds like the thing or action that it is describing in naming, or is understood to be representative of it, it's called an ONOMATOPOEIC word
