is the term used to describe a word that has been miss-pronounced or
two or more
words that have been confused together by someone. The word derivatation is actually such a word. I used it during a conversation when one of my
friends slightly screwed up a word but not too much that it didn't make some sense so instead of saying is that a deviation of a the word the meant I used the word derivatation.
Person 1: I am
dying of hungarvation cause I haven't eatin' since
breakfast yesterday.
Person 2: Dude that sounds like a derivatation of
a word did you come up with that one yourself????
