ONYM, ONOMATO relate to which concept?

Explanation:
Naming and language are what these roots point to. ONYM means name or word, and ONOMATO comes from the same idea of naming. In English, these parts show up in words about types of words or naming—pseudonym (a false name), synonym (a word with the same meaning), antonym (a word with the opposite meaning). Even though onomatopoeia is famous for imitating sounds, its root comes from naming the sound as a word. So the concept is about names or words, not heat or color. That's why the correct idea is Name, word.
