Is lunge an example of onomatopoeia?

No, "lunge" is not an example of onomatopoeia.

Onomatopoeia is the formation of a word from a sound associated with what it describes (like "buzz," "hiss," or "meow").

"Lunge" is a descriptive word for a sudden forward movement, but it doesn't directly imitate a sound.

While you might imagine a sound associated with a lunge, the word itself doesn't create that sound.
