swoosh
Air rushing past
Swoosh is both a sound and a movement—the rush of air or liquid passing swiftly: The curtain swooshed open, He heard the swoosh of skis on snow.
The word imitates what it describes.
As a noun, it also refers to a curved shape suggesting motion, most notably the Nike logo: the iconic swoosh.
