"Gratuitous." this word is practically an onomatopoeia despite the fact it does not describe any type of action or sound. I say this because if I had never heard it before, I would still be able to guess it's meaning simply by the way it sounded. both its excessive length and energy of its dictation reflect its definition. Few word represent their meaning in form and fuction the way "gratuitous" does.
