Vocab Confab 2
Portmanteau is either a noun or an adjective. It can either mean a large suitcase or it can be used as a term that describes when two words are combined together such as brunch. I took this definition from www.m-w.com but i originally read the word on a website describing odd words.Its entymology consists of french and latin and if one were to use it in a sentence they would say "The word smog is a portmanteau since the word derives from smoke and fog."
