You may have heard of portmanteau words. What are they? Actually a portmanteau word is a word which fuses two or more words or parts of words to give a combined meaning. Here are a few examples:
1) Motel: motor and hotel (a hotel for motorists, with space for parking cars near the rooms.)
2) Brunch: breakfast and lunch (late morning meal eaten instead of breakfast and lunch.)
3) Animatronics: animation and electronics (technique of making and operating lifelike robots)
4) Cyborg: cybernetic organism
5) Chortle: snort and chuckle (loud chuckle of pleasure or amusement)
6) Smog: smoke and fog
7) Cremains: cremated and remains (cremated remains)
8) Alphabet: alpha and beta (set of letters or symbols in a fixed order, used when writing a language.)
9) Edutainment: entertainment and education (printed or otherwise publicly available material intended to entertain as well as to educate and inform.)
10) Electrocute: electricity and execute (kill a person or an animal by means of an electric current.)
