Meow is the usual American spelling of the cat sound that British English often writes miaow. It is the noise a house cat makes, and people also use it as a verb (the cat meowed) and as a little cry in comics, texts, and children’s books. It is a sound written down, not a word built from Latin pieces.

It comes from an older English form mew (from Middle English mewen, mouwen), which you may still meet in poems, or for some bird cries; for house cats, meow and miaow took over in the 1800s, perhaps because mew no longer sounded enough like the real noise. Some spellings were shaped to look like French miaou.
