(n)A word made by combining
two other words to form a new, truncated single word. Tword is an autonym (a word that describes itself) as it is made by combining the two words, ‘two’ and ‘word’.
Examples of twords include cankles (calf/ankles) and
moobs (man boobs). Recent years have seen the rise of twords to describe
celebrity couples, including Brangelina, and Tomkat. For many years, marketeers have delighted in their creation to describe products or market segments, for example infomercial and edutainment.
