English Language - Grade 5: Blend Words - Word Blend's Family

⁣A blend word or portmanteau is a word made up of parts of two (or more) other words, and whose meaning combines the meanings of the two other words, e.g.: Breakfast + Lunch → Brunch. Morning meal + Midday meal → Mid-morning meal. This combination has created a new word brunch and a new meaning of mid-morning meal.
