A portmanteau word is made up of two or more existing words that have been blended together.
Often portmanteau words start off as slang or nonsense words but later become part of Standard English due to being widely used.
The rise of technology and the internet, in particular, has led to many portmanteau words being created, e.g. pixel, emoticon, and vlog.
