In linguistics, a blend is a word formed from parts of two other words.
These parts are sometimes, but not always, morphemes.
A blend is different from a portmanteau word in that a portmanteau refers

example, brunch is a blend of breakfast and lunch. This is the most common

of cybernetic and organism.
· One complete word is combined with part of another word. For example,
Wikipedia is a blend of wiki and encyclo'pedia.
· Two words
