What is "blending"?
Blending is a word formation process in which parts of two or more words are combined to create a new word. This new word typically takes sounds and meanings from each of the original words. For example, "brunch" is a blend of "breakfast" and "lunch", while "smog" combines "smoke" and "fog". Blending allows for creative and concise expressions in language, often resulting in words that capture the essence of the combined concepts. It is commonly used in informal speech and popular culture to generate new vocabulary.
