[Tex/LaTex] Which Command? A paragraph, first word bold, not listed in table of contents

Question

i couldnt find this on web search, my prof. told me to use a "paragraph" command, with attributes like in the headline description, in certain situations. But all I could find is a command called "paragraph", it lists itself in the table of contents though, which I want to avoid. Which command am I looking for to get what I need.

I use this document class

\documentclass[ngerman,bt]{dbvdoc}

thanks a lot in advance,
daniel

Play with both counters of the minimal example, or use paragraph*, or use the description environment if do you want also a hanging indent

\documentclass{article}
\setcounter{secnumdepth}{3}
\setcounter{tocdepth}{3}
\begin{document}
\tableofcontents{}
\section{Section}
\subsection{Subsection}
\subsubsection{Subsubsection}
\paragraph{paragraph } numbered but not listed in TOC.
\paragraph*{Paragraph } not numbered and not listed.
\begin{description}
\item [{description}] environment
\item [{second}] item of descrition
\end{description}
\end{document
\end{document}
