Comment on How do you call a word that is so rudimentary that it can't be defined without being redundant?

Maybe onomatopoeia. The word for the “crack” sound is “crack”.

The definition of crack in that instance would be something along the lines of: “The sound the air makes when creating a small sonic boom. Like that of a whip cutting through the air.”
Even onomatopoeia has synonyms. Like some people say Atchoo. Some say kerchew. And then other languages say other words for the same sound.
