today's portmanteau word—about this feature: click here—
about this featureA 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. about portmanteau words and The Muse's portmanteau words tableThe Muse Of Language Arts is pleased to offer you an exploration of portmanteau words and a rapidly growing searchable and sortable table that contains well over a hundred portmanteau words. —click Humpty to learn more about portmanteau words and the table of portmanteau words—
