The word "smog" is a portmanteau of smoke and fog.
A portmanteau is a large suitcase. By extension, a portmanteau word is one that packs two meanings into one word: brunch (breakfast and lunch); smog (smoke and fog); slithy (slippery and lithe); slanguage (slang and language) Portmanteau words are also called "blend words" and "telescope words."
Examples are: liger (lion crossbred with tiger) smog (smoke and fog) spork (spoon and fork)
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.
smoke + fog = smog
smoke / fog = sm-og = smog
