According to AskOxford.com, Blend is the name given to a word formed by combining portions of two or more separate words.

Think of at least 5 new blends or portmanteaus related to your topic area OR related to ICT. Give a good description and/or meaning of the word. Ensure the context of these words have popular usage.
