A portmanteau word belongs to the category of linguistics and word formation. It is created by blending parts of two or more words to form a new word that combines their meanings, such as "brunch" (breakfast + lunch) or "smog" (smoke + fog). Portmanteaus are often used in colloquial language and popular culture to convey new concepts succinctly.
