What is a blended words?

"Blended words" is not a standard term in linguistics or lexicology. However, it seems like you're referring to what are commonly known as portmanteaus.

A portmanteau is a word created by combining parts of two or more other words. This often results in a word that captures the essence of both of the original words, sometimes with a humorous or satirical effect.

Here are some examples of portmanteaus:

* Smog: smoke + fog

* Brexit: British + exit

* Spork: spoon + fork

* Chunnel: Channel + tunnel

* Blog: web + log

So, while "blended words" isn't a commonly used term, it's likely that you are referring to portmanteaus.
