Word History

The Combo

word combos wombos

lend of WORD + COMBOS, shown on screen as "WORD COMBOS → WOMBOS." The headword is itself a wombo (a portmanteau formed by smashing one word into another) and thus serves as the eponym and naming convention for the entire class of such formations. The derived noun WOMBOSIS is patterned on the medical suffix -osis (a condition or diseased state, as in diagnosis, neurosis), framing chronic wombo-coinage as a pathology. The derived noun WOMBOSINATOR is patterned on -inator / -ator (an agent noun popularized by TERMINATOR), denoting an agent who relentlessly produces wombos.
