Word Formation process: Blending

WHAT IS BLENDING AS A WORD FORMATION PROCESS??? 

Blending is one of the many ways new words are made in English.


Blending is a word formation process that combines parts of two or more words to form a new word.

In broad sense refers to joining the beginning of one word and the end of another to make a new word with a new meaning.


  EXAMPLES


Breakfast 🍝+lunch🍜 =Brunch 
 Biological +picture =biopic 
 Motor +hotel =motel 
 Telephone +marathon =telethon
