A word blend is formed by combining two separate words with different meanings to form a new one. These words are often created to describe a new invention or phenomenon that combines the definitions or traits of two existing things.
Word Blends and Their Parts
Word blends are also known as portmanteau (pronunciation port-MAN-toe), a French word meaning «trunk» or «suitcase.» Author Lewis Carroll is credited with coining this term in «Through the Looking-Glass,» published in 1871. In that book, Humpty Dumpty tells Alice about making up new words from parts of existing ones:
«You see it’s like a portmanteau—there are two meanings packed up into one word.»
There are different ways of creating word blends. One way is to combine portions of two other words to make a new one. These word fragments are called morphemes, the smallest units of meaning in a language. The word «camcorder,» for example,» combines parts of «camera» and «recorder.» Word blends can also be created by joining a full word with a portion of another word (called a splinter). For example, the word «motorcade» combines «motor» plus a portion of «cavalcade.»
Word blends can also be formed by overlapping or combining phonemes, which are parts of two words that sound alike. One example of an overlapping word blend is «Spanglish,» which is an informal mix of spoken English and Spanish. Blends can also be formed through the omission of phonemes. Geographers sometimes refer to «Eurasia,» the landmass that combines Europe and Asia. This blend is formed by taking the first syllable of «Europe» and adding it to the word «Asia.»
The Blend Trend
English is a dynamic language that is constantly evolving. Many of the words in the English language are derived from ancient Latin and Greek or from other European languages such as German or French. But starting in the 20th century, blended words began to emerge to describe new technologies or cultural phenomena. For instance, as dining out became more popular, many restaurants began serving a new weekend meal in the late morning. It was too late for breakfast and too early for lunch, so someone decided to make a new word that described a meal that was a little bit of both. Thus, «brunch» was born.
As new inventions changed the way people lived and worked, the practice of combining parts of words to make new ones became popular. In the 1920s, as traveling by car became more common, a new kind of hotel that catered to drivers emerged. These «motor hotels» quickly proliferated and became known as «motels.» In 1994, when a rail tunnel beneath the English Channel opened, connecting France and Great Britain, it quickly became known as the «Chunnel,» a word blend of «Channel» and «tunnel.»
New word blends are being created all the time as cultural and technological trends emerge. In 2018, Merriam-Webster added the word «mansplaining» to their dictionary. This blended word, which combines «man» and «explaining,» was coined to describe the habit that some men have of explaining things in a condescending manner.

Word Combiner is a web tool that lets you combine up to 4 words to create a unique new one. Use it to create strong but easy memorable passwords, nicknames, or original names. Why use the name of only one of your pets as a password when you can create a unique code combining more than one? Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were Brangelina, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are Beniffer, and what about you and your partner? What would be your couple’s nickname? Have fun trying out different word combinations and creating something special.
How to use this Word Combiner
This Word Combiner is very intuitive and easy to use. All you have to do is to type in up to four words in the respective fields above and press “Combine”. You are required to introduce at least two words for the engine to word. Words 3 and 4 are optional.
The words you introduce any word or random letters in each field. It is not necessary to use dictionary-approved words. This is to ensure that you can combine foreign terms or made-up names, for example, should you wish to do it.
The results retrieved from your query will be divided into 2, 6, or 12 sections, with each name taking its turn at the beginning of the combined word. If you only combine 2 names (A and B), for example, then you will have 2 sections, one where the unique words start with A and another where they start with B.
In each section, you will find different combinations, with various lengths, for you to check. Our goal is to give you plenty of suggestions and ideas so you can choose the one that sounds best to your ears or that you find has the most interesting spelling.
Have fun playing around with our Word Combiner and creating unique words!
I did a program which gets the word «SHaddOW» and dividing it to 2 words: SHOW
and add
.
That is one word of uppercase characters and the other word of lowercase chars. But I have some problem when I’m running the program.
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#define SIZE 10
int main()
{
int i = 0;
int countbig = 0 , countsmall = 0;
char str[] = "SHaddOW";
char smallStr[SIZE] , bigStr[SIZE];
for (i = 0; i <= strlen(str) ; i++)
{
if (str[i]>= 'A' && str[i]<='Z')
{
bigStr[countbig] = str[i];
countbig++;
}
else if (str[i] >= 'a' && str[i] <= 'z')
{
smallStr[countsmall] = str[i];
countsmall++;
}
}
puts(smallStr);
puts(bigStr);
system("PAUSE");
return 0;
}
When I’m running the program its showing that:

puts( smallStr );
This keeps on writing whatever smallStr
is pointing to, until it hits a null byte (''
).
You never write a null byte into either smallStr
or bigStr
, so you see the garbled output you are observing. (Be happy the program did not crash, as it is accessing memory it should not.)
At the end of the loop, terminate the strings:
smallStr[ countsmall ] = '';
bigStr[ countbig ] = '';
That should help.

Try this code
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#define SIZE 10
int main()
{
int i = 0;
int countbig = 0 , countsmall = 0;
char str[] = "SHaddOW";
char smallStr[SIZE] , bigStr[SIZE];
for (i = 0; i < strlen(str) ; i++)
{
if (str[i]>= 'A' && str[i]<='Z')
{
bigStr[countbig] = str[i];
countbig++;
}
else if (str[i] >= 'a' && str[i] <= 'z')
{
smallStr[countsmall] = str[i];
countsmall++;
}
}
bigStr[countbig]='';
smallStr[countsmall] = '';
puts(smallStr);
puts(bigStr);
system("PAUSE");
return 0;
}
You should add to end the string and only travel till
i
is less than length of the string.

This happen because of not doing null termination so ,
Do initialization for
char smallStr[SIZE] = {0} , bigStr[SIZE] = {0};
or
Do the null termination after loop completed at end of loop do
smallStr[ countsmall ] = '';
bigStr[ countbig ] = '';
You will get correct result.

What is Word Formation?
Word formation process is subject of morphology where we learn how new words are formed. In linguistics, word formation process is the creation of a new word by making changes in existing words or by creating new words. In other words, it refers to the ways in which new words are made on the basis of other words.
Different Forms of Word Formation
Word Formation process is achieved by different ways to create a new word that includes; coinage, compounding, borrowing, blending, acronym, clipping, contraction, backformation, affixation and conversion.
Compounding
Compounding is a type of word formation where we join two words side by side to create a new word. It is very common type of word formation in a language. Some time we write a compound word with a hyphen between two words and some time we keep a space and sometime we write them jointly. All these three forms are common in all languages.
Common examples of word compounding are:
· Part + time = part-time
· Book + case = bookcase
· Low + paid = low-paid
· Door + knob = doorknob
· Finger + print = fingerprint
· Wall + paper = wallpaper
· Sun + burn = sunburn
· Text + book = textbook
· Good + looking = good-looking
· Ice + cream = Ice-cream
Borrowing
In word formation process, borrowing is the process by which a word from one language is adapted for use in another language. The word that is borrowed is called a borrowing, a loanword, or a borrowed word. It is also known as lexical borrowing. It is the most common source of new words in all languages.
Common Examples of borrowed words in English language are:
· Dope (Dutch)
· Croissant (French)
· Zebra (Bantu)
· Lilac (Persian)
· Pretzel (German)
· Yogurt (Turkish)
· Piano (Italian)
· Sofa (Arabic)
· Tattoo (Tahitian)
· Tycoon (Japanese)
Blending
Blending is the combination of two separate words to form a single new word. It is different from compounding where we add two words side by side to make a new word but in blending we do not use both words in complete sense but new/derived word has part of both words e.g. word smog and fog are different words and when we blend them to make a new word, we use a part of each word to make a new word that is smog. We took first two letters from first word (sm) from smoke and last two (og) from fog to derive a new word smog.
Some more examples of blending are:
· Smoke + murk=smurk
· Smoke + haze= smaze
· Motel (hotel + motor)
· Brunch (breakfast + lunch )
· Infotainment ( information + entertainment)
· Franglais ( French + English)
· Spanglish (Spanish + English )
.
Abbreviations
Abbreviation is a process where we create a new word by making a change in lexical form of a word keeping same meaning. There are three main types of abbreviations.
1. Clipping / Shortening / Truncation
2. Acronyms / Initialism
3. Contraction
Clipping / Shortening / Truncation
Clipping is the type of word formation where we use a part of word instead of whole word. This form of word formation is used where there is a long/multi-syllable word and to save time we use a short one instead of that long word e.g. the word advertisement is a long word and we use its short form ad (ads for plural form) instead of whole word.
Here are some examples of clipping:
· Ad from advertisement
· Gas from gasoline
· Exam from examination
· Cab from cabriolet
· Fax from facsimile
· Condo from condominium
· Fan from fanatic
· Flu from Influenza
· Edu from education
· Gym from gymnasium
· Lab from laboratory
Acronyms / Initialism
An acronym is a word or name formed as an abbreviation from the initial letters in a phrase or a multi syllable word (as in Benelux). The initials are pronounced as new single words. Commonly derived word are written in upper case e.g. NATO.
Some common examples of acronyms are:
· CD is acronym of compact disk
· VCR is acronym of video cassette recorder
· NATO is acronym of North Atlantic Treaty Organization
· NASA is acronym of National Aeronautics and Space Administration
· ATM is acronym of Automatic Teller Machine
· PIN is acronym of Personal Identification Number
Some time the word is written in lower case (Initial letter capital when at start of sentence)
· Laser is acronym of Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation
· Scuba is acronym of Self-Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus
· Radar is acronym of Radio Detecting And Ranging
Contraction
A contraction is a word formed as an abbreviation from a word. Contractions are abbreviations in which we omit letters from the middle of a word or more than one words.
Some common contractions are below:
· Dr is from Doctor.
· St is from Saint.
· He’s from He is.
· I’ve is from I have.
Affixation
Affixation is the word formation process where a new word is created by adding suffix or prefix to a root word. The affixation may involve prefixes, suffixes, infixes. In prefixes, we add extra letters before root word e.g. re+right to make a new word rewrite. In suffix, we add some extra letters with a base/root word e.g. read+able. In infixes, the base word is changed in its form e.g. the plural of woman is women that creates new word “women”.
1. Prefixes: un+ plug = unplug
2. Suffixes: cut + ie = cutie
3. Infixes: man + plural = men
Zero-derivation (Conversion)
Zero-derivation, or conversion, is a derivational process that forms new words from existing words. Zero derivation, is a kind of word formation involving the creation of a word from an existing word without any change in form, which is to say, derivation using only zero. Zero-derivation or conversion changes the lexical category of a word without changing its phonological shape. For example, the word ship is a noun and we use it also as a verb. See below sentences to understand it.
1. Beach hotel has a ship to enjoy honeymoon.
2. Beach hotel will ship your luggage in two days.
In first sentence, the word ship is a noun and in second sentence the word ship (verb) is derived from the action of ship (noun) that transports luggage, so the word ship (verb) has meaning of transportation.
Backformation
Backformation is the word formation process where a new word is derived by removing what appears to be an affix. When we remove last part of word (that looks like suffix but not a suffix in real) from a word it creates a new word.
Some very familiar words are below:
· Peddle from peddler
· Edit from editor
· Pea from pease
Coinage / Neologism
It is also a process of word formation where new words (either deliberately or accidentally) are invented. This is a very rare process to create new words, but in the media and industry, people and companies try to surpass others with unique words to name their services or products.
Some common examples of coinage are: Kodak, Google, Bing, Nylon etc.
Eponyms
In word formation process, sometime new words are derives by based on the name of a person or a place. Some time these words have attribution to a place and sometime the words are attributes to the things/terms who discover/invent them. For example, the word volt is electric term that is after the name of Italian scientist Alessandro Volta.
Some common examples of eponyms are:
· Hoover: after the person who marketed it
· Jeans: after a city of Italy Genoa
· Spangle: after the person who invented it
· Watt: after the name of scientist James Watt
· Fahrenheit: after the name of German scientist Gabriel Fahrenheit
Word Solver is a tool used to help players succeed at puzzle games such as Scrabble, Words With Friends, and daily crosswords. The player enters his available letters, length, or pattern, and the word solver finds a variety of results that will fit into the spaces on offer.
What is a Word Maker?
Maybe you’ve heard of a word maker and maybe you haven’t. If you have, then you’re likely well-versed in how it really can up your score when you play various word games. However, if a word maker is new to you, then stay tuned while we explain what it is and when it comes in very handy.
Essentially, it’s a word maker from letters device that creates all the possible choices from the available letters. When vowels, consonants and even wild cards are fed into the word maker, the tool comes up rapidly with new words from different letter combinations. This includes developing other words from the letters in existing words.
How to Use a Word Solver Website — 3 Easy Steps
Websites that feature a word maker from letters tool can be great fun to use! Some are more intuitive than others but, generally, this is how to use them:
Step #1: Research & Choose
You have to prepare before you start your game. Try a few word solver websites first to see how they work and stay with the one you like the most. Keep it open while playing.
Step #2: Find the appropriate tool.
For example, if you’re trying to solve an anagram, you can click on our Anagram Solver.
Step #3: Enter the letters
Type in the letters of the word that you’re working with.
Say that you have the following word ─ DESSERT. Once you enter it, the anagram solver will present this word ─ STRESSED.
Don’t forget that you can use the advanced filter function. It will help you zero in on word options that start or end with particular letters or contain certain letters or any wildcards.
Wordsolver Apps
You can also download a word generator app to your cell phone. There are some very cool ones out there. Basically, you just go to the app store on your phone or find an online app store, browse what’s available and download the one that you like best. Wordmaker apps operate similarly to those that you find online on websites.
Make Words for Scrabble & WWF
Here’s another example for how to make words online using a word jumble generator:
- Step 1: Go to the website that you want to use.
- Step 2: Find a word grabber designed for your game and click the button to open it up on your screen.
For example, if you’re playing Scrabble, try our Scrabble Word Finder.
- Step 3: Type in the vowels, consonants and wild card tiles that you have.
Let’s imagine that you have these letters ─ CIUTJSE. These are just some of the few exciting letter combinations that the Scrabble word finder will offer up ─ JUSTICE, JUICES, CUTIES, JESUIT, JUICE, SUITE, JEST AND SECT.
In the above example, depending on what words you can make with the tiles already laid on the Scrabble board, you could be in for a very high point score!
Generate Words by Length
Yes! Making use of a letter combination generator that will turn letters to words whatever the circumstances, can absolutely be productive. Keep reading below.
