Blended Words You Need to Know (Part 2)
Blended words, also known as portmanteau words, are created by combining two different words to form a new one with a distinct meaning. These words add creativity and flair to the English language, making your conversations more engaging and fun.
For example, "hangry" is a blend of "hungry" and "angry", used to describe the irritability caused by hunger. "Jeggings", combining "jeans" and "leggings", refers to a style of stretchy pants. A "staycation", merging "stay" and "vacation", describes a vacation spent at home or nearby rather than traveling. Finally, a "webinar", a blend of "web" and "seminar", is an online seminar.
Learning these blended words not only enhances your vocabulary but also helps you understand how English evolves over time. These words are increasingly used in both casual and professional settings, reflecting a playful yet practical aspect of language.
