portmanteau. 1  The combination of two or more words to create a new word. Also known as a frankenword or blend. 2  a cliche and uncreative technique to form new words - almost anyone who can speak a language can fabricate words by butchering two perfectly good words and using cheap glue to form one ugly word.
The word portmanteau was first used in this sense by Lewis Carroll in the book Through the Looking-Glass (1871), in which Humpty Dumpty explains to Alice the coinage of the unusual words in Jabberwocky, where slithy means slimy and lithe and mimsy is miserable and flimsy.
