Have you ever wondered where the word "blog" came from? Just recently, I have discovered that the word "blog" is actually a combination of the words web and log. Interesting huh? Portmanteau or blend words are derived by combining portions of two or more separate words. Other examples of these words are: "motor + hotel = motel," "motorcar + cavalcade = motorcade" but what amazed me most is the word "goodbye" which was derived from the sentence "God + be (with) + ye."
