Because the word onomatopoeia has it's origins in greek and latin. The' poe' means poem, which is literally the definition of the word. It is a literal poem. A poem in the word, in other words, it sounds like what the word actually means.

I always wondered that. I guess it's an oxymoron in and of itself.
