@Commoner:

Of course, after Hurricane Harvey, we see Harvey Weinstein taking a hit.

Can you foresee any living Nate's taking a hit? Any actors , musicians, politicians?

Portmanteau

A portmanteau (/pɔːrtˈmæntoʊ/ (About this sound listen), /ˌpɔːrtmænˈtoʊ/[a]; plural portmanteaus or portmanteaux /-ˈtoʊz/[b]) or portmanteau word is a linguistic blend of words,[1] in which parts of multiple words or their phones (sounds) are combined into a new word,[1][2][3] as in smog, coined by blending smoke and fog,[2][4] or motel, from motor and hotel.[5] In linguistics, a portmanteau is defined as a single morph that represents two or more morphemes.[6][7][8][9]

The definition overlaps with the grammatical term contraction, but contractions are formed from words that would otherwise appear together in sequence, such as do and not to make don't, whereas a portmanteau word is formed by combining two or more existing words that all relate to a singular concept which the portmanteau describes. A portmanteau also differs from a compound, which does not involve the truncation of parts of the stems of the blended words. For instance, starfish is a compound, not a portmanteau, of star and fish; whereas a hypothetical portmanteau of star and fish might be stish.

Sorry! It really does belong here for now.

HAH! I didn't read the next section!

Origin

The word portmanteau was first used in this sense by Lewis Carroll in the book Through the Looking-Glass (1871),[10] in which Humpty Dumpty explains to Alice the coinage of the unusual words in "Jabberwocky",[11] where slithy means "slimy and lithe" and mimsy is "miserable and flimsy". Humpty Dumpty explains to Alice the practice of combining words in various ways:

You see it's like a portmanteau—there are two meanings packed up into one word.

In his introduction to The Hunting of the Snark, Carroll uses portmanteau when discussing lexical selection:

Humpty Dumpty's theory, of two meanings packed into one word like a portmanteau, seems to me the right explanation for all. For instance, take the two words "fuming" and "furious." Make up your mind that you will say both words, but leave it unsettled which you will say first … if you have the rarest of gifts, a perfectly balanced mind, you will say "frumious."[11]

In then-contemporary English, a portmanteau was a suitcase that opened into two equal sections. The etymology of the word is the French porte-manteau, from porter, "to carry", and manteau, "cloak" (from Old French mantel, from Latin mantellum).[12] In modern French, a porte-manteau is a clothes valet, a coat-tree or similar article of furniture for hanging up jackets, hats, umbrellas and the like.[13][14][15] It has also been used, especially in Europe, as a formal description for coat racks from the French words porter (to carry) and manteau (cloak).

An occasional synonym for "portmanteau word" is frankenword, an autological word exemplifying the phenomenon it describes, blending "Frankenstein" and "word".[16]

Wikipedia: Natalie Portman - Personal Life section

Personal life

In 2006, she commented that she felt more Jewish in Israel and that she would like to raise her children Jewish: "A priority for me is definitely that I'd like to raise my kids Jewish, but the ultimate thing is to have someone who is a good person and who is a partner."[130]

After Portman appeared in the video for folk singer Devendra Banhart's song "Carmensita", the two began a relationship,[131] which ended in September 2008.[132]

Portman began dating French ballet dancer Benjamin Millepied in 2009. The couple met while she was filming Black Swan, for which he was the choreographer.[133] In December 2010, Portman announced their engagement and confirmed her pregnancy.[134][135][136] Portman and Millepied married in a Jewish ceremony in Big Sur, California on August 4, 2012.[137][138] The couple have two children: son Aleph (born June 2011)[139][140] and daughter Amalia (born February 2017).[141][142][143]

In January 2013, the Paris Opera Ballet announced that Millepied had accepted the position of director of dance, beginning September 2014.[144] The couple subsequently announced plans to relocate to Paris with Portman stating that she would like to become a French citizen.[145] In 2016, the family returned to Los Angeles from Paris.[146]
