Mummy, where do new words come from?
Blends
Take two old words
Take a part of each
Put them together
Can you think of some words that are blends?
Brunch
Breakfast + lunch
Motor car + hotel
Sitcom
Situation + comedy
Breathalyzer
Breath + analyser
Telecast
Television + broadcast
Portmanteau
French word for suitcase
'You see it's like a portmanteau -- there are two meanings packed up into one word.'
More blend words?
