Blend

v. mix, merge, combine

In linguistics, a blend is a word formed from parts of two other words. These parts are sometimes, but not always, morphemes.A blend is different from a portmanteau word in that a portmanteau refers strictly to a blending of two function words, similar to a contraction.
