In linguistics, a blend —also known as a blend word, lexical blend, or portmanteau[a] —is a word formed by combining the meanings, and parts of the sounds, of two or more words together. [2][3][4] English examples include smog, coined by blending smoke and fog, [3][5] as well as motel, from motor (motorist) and hotel. [6] More @Wikipedia
