When you are editing a paper or any text on a computer and instead of deleting the whole world you are replacing, you instead delete only the necessary letters and fill them in with letters to make your new word.

A portmanteau of carpe diem, a Latin phrase that means “Seize the Day!” and DM, which stands for Direct Messages. This word means seizing the day via DMs.

In compound words, word recycling constitutes the removal of extra letters from the separate base words so as to shorten the spelling of the compound word without compromising readability.

Thus, "cellphone" becomes "celphone".
