A portmanteaunote (pronounced \pȯrt-ˈman-(ˌ)t�\ or "port-man-TOE") is a new word formed by joining two others and combining their meanings; "smog" is a blend of "smoke" and "fog"; "motel" is a portmanteau word made by combining "motor" and "hotel". Essentially, the written equivalent of Frankenstein's monster. The word itself is an obsolete term for a kind of suitcase that opens into two hinged compartments. It was first used to describe blends of words by Lewis Carroll in Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There, when Humpty Dumpty explains to Alice the word "slithy" from the poem "Jabberwocky": There are two basic types. The first combines the beginning or first syllable of the first word with the ending or last syllable of the other, as in the Goldwyn (Goldfish + Selwyn) Picture Corporation (later part of MGM) and the U.S. Navy's DESRON (destroyer squadron). The second combines the first syllables of the component words, such as in a Hazmat Suit (hazardous materials), the company name Alcan (Aluminium Company of Canada), the New York neighborhood Tribeca (Triangle Below Canal Street), and the online phenomenon NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month). The latter type sometimes mixes with first-letter acronyms, e. g. in NORAD (North American Aerospace Defense Command) and Parufamet, the film distribution firm run by Paramount, the UFA (Universum-Film-Aktiengesellschaft) and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer in the Weimar Republic. During the first half of the 20th century the second type was very common in German and Russian, which through examples like Stuka, Gestapo, Flak, Stasi, Gulag, Comintern and Sovnarkom associated it with Communism and National Socialism in British and American eyes, even though the type actually goes back to before World War 1.note The examples: Sturzkampfflugzeug ("dive combat airplane"), Geheime Staatspolizei ("secret state police"), Flugabwehrkanone ("anti-air cannon", goes back to 1916), Staatssicherheit ("state security"), glavnoye upravleniye ispravityelno-trudovykh lagerey i koloniy ("main administration of corrective labour camps and settlements"), Communist International, and sovyet narodnykh kommissarov ("council of the people's commissars"). "Nazi" itself is not an example, contrary to what some people may tell you. Consequently, fictional totalitarian governments often use them to play on these connotations. Portmanteaus of the second type are still fairly common in Germany to this day. In countries that don't use alphabets, like Japan, this is also still the standard, which is why Portmanteau Series Nickname is full of anime show examples. Incidentally, the original French word "portemanteau" is a portmanteau. "Porte" means carries and "manteau" means coat, so a portemanteau is something that carries your coat. In modern French the word means coat hanger instead of a type of suitcase, and the literary equivalent is called a "mot-valise", or "suitcase-word".

Dave Gorman makes up a few in Modern Life Is Goodish. The episode "Spray Gravy" has a whole segment on the meal replacement product Huel ("human fuel"), which Dave says was probably invented by a bunch of "hunts", and decides the product name is in fact a portmanteau for "hipster gruel". He then goes on to invent a music substitute that is just a concentrated burst of sound, which he calls "Spunes" ("speed tunes"). | |

Magic: The Gathering The fans do these with combos, like Land Tax (If your opponent gets more lands than you, you can search your library for three lands and put them in play.) + Armageddon (Destroy all lands.) = Taxageddon (for massive mana advantage and card advantage). Yawgmoth's Bargain (pay X life to draw X cards) + Heroes' Reunion (gain 7 life) = Heroes' Bargain (or two and a third Ancestral Recalls, which, to be fair, requires you run a three-color deck).

The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind has (in-universe) ALMSIVI, for Almalexia, Sotha Sil, and Vivec (the three Physical Gods of the Dunmeri Tribunal). By the end of the game and expansions, two of the gods are dead, and one goes missing not so long afterwards. Thus, the term has fallen out of favor by the time we get a closer look at Dunmeri culture again in Skyrim's Dragonborn expansion. | |

Diablo II The strategy guides and developer comments refer to the Amazon character as a "spearazon" or a "bowazon", depending on which skill tree the player specializes in. Paladin builds do much the same thing, from the Hammerdin (Paladin who uses Blessed Hammer), Auradin (Paladin who uses auras) and the Vengadin or Avenger (Paladin who uses Vengeance). There's also a build using Holy Freeze and Zeal which is called (appropriately) the Freezealot. Assassins are primarily grouped into Kicksins (those who use kung fu) and Trapsins (those who use traps). |
