the process in which a new word or morpheme is created by combining a sound component that resembles an existing word with a semantic component that reflects its meaning
What is "phono-semantic matching"?
Phono-semantic matching is a process where a word from one language is integrated into another language, resulting in a new term that sounds similar and has a related meaning. This involves replacing parts of the original word with phonetic and semantic elements from the language adopting the word, often making the new term appear native to that language. For example, a borrowed word may be altered in its sound and form to align more closely with the phonetic patterns and meanings of the adopting language. This method helps to mask the word's foreign origin and allows it to blend more naturally into the new linguistic context.
