The word 'Tamagotchi' is a portmanteau (or hybrid) of the Japanese word for 'egg' (tamago, たまご) and the English word 'watch'. By taking 'tamago' and adding 'tch' at the end, the result is "Tamagotch," which has been popularized internationally with the added 'i' sound at the end. The literal meaning turns out to be 'Egg watch'.
