port·man·teau
/ˌpôrtˈmantō/
noun
1. a large trunk or suitcase, typically made of stiff leather and opening into two equal parts. But that’s beside the point…
2. a word blending the sounds and combining the meanings of two others, for example motel (from ‘motor’ and ‘hotel’) or brunch (from ‘breakfast’ and ‘lunch’).”podcast is a portmanteau, a made-up word coined from a combination of the words iPod and broadcast”
We, at FolknHarmony, believe that words make life richer. Therefore we make up as many as we can, like it is our job. Expect portmanteaus all day long.
Stay tuned for our reckless use of the English language…
