What part of speech is manxome?

"Manxome" is not a standard English word or recognized part of speech. It appears to be a nonce word coined by Lewis Carroll in his poem "Jabberwocky" to evoke a sense of unfamiliarity or otherworldliness. In linguistic terms, it could be classified as a lexical innovation or a blend of "man" and "fearsome" to create a unique adjective.
