BLENDING IS THE FORMATION OF NEW WORDS BY COMBINING PARTS OF TWO WORDS OR A WORD PLUS A PART OF ANOTHER WORD, AS IS SHOWN BY "MOTEL" AND "MEDICARE". "MOTEL" IS A COMBINATION OF "MOTOR"+"HOTEL" AND "MEDICARE" A COMBINATION OF "MEDICAL"+"CARE".
CLIPPING IS ANOTHER WAY OF MAKING A WORD WHICH IS TO SHORTEN A LONGER WORD BY CUTTING A PART OFF THE ORIGINAL AND USING WHAT REMAINS INSTEAD, AS IS SHOWN BY "QUAKE" AND "FLU". "QUAKE" IS THE SHORTENED FORM OF "EARTHQUAKE" AND "FLU" IS THE SHORTENED FORM OF "INFLUENZA".
