about this feature

A portmanteau word is a word formed by combining the sounds and meanings of two different words to form a brand new word with a different but similar sound and a different but similar meaning—for example, slithy, from lithe and slimy; chortle, from chuckle and snort.

Portmanteau words are a lot like the dancing king and queen above. They start as two individuals who circle around each other until eventually they become a couple. It's a simple idea, but there's a whole lot more to know and enjoy.
