banged and loud makes up blanged
In the book The Watson's Go to Birmingham the toilet is glugging after one of the kids tries to flush a bunch of stuff. I think that it is a combo of gurgle and plug............... Isn't "glugging" an example of onomatopoeia (a word that sounds as it means, like POP or SPLAT)? Why should it be a portmanteau word at all?
Snort and giggle
I think it would be squeezed and pinched.
Oh, dude, the term "portmanteau" was actually named after a specific kind of suitcase that opens into two equal parts, like a combination of two words. It was first coined by Lewis Carroll in "Through the Looking-Glass." So yeah, it's not named after a specific gentleman, just a fancy word for blending words together. Cool, right?
I don't know whether neuropsUchology is any kind of word. If neuropsYchology is what is meant, the answer is NO. It's not one word made from two but one word (psychology) with a prefix (neuro-_ Obillo

A portmanteau word belongs to the category of word formation, specifically blending, where two words are combined to create a new word with a combined meaning.
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."
The word "portmanteau" belongs in the category of linguistics or vocabulary, as it refers to a word that combines two words or their meanings into one. It is also commonly used in discussions about language and word formation.
