list of portmanteaux

This is a partial list of portmanteaux or "blends" — words formed by combining two other words, in the English language. Most portmanteau words take the prefix of one word and use the suffix of the other forming a prefix and suffix-like wording. That kind of setup sometimes causes derrivative meanings for the prefixes and suffixes. But in some cases, the prefix from both words can be used (e.g. modem).
