Word-formation 搆詞方法

This term is a clever and euphonious blend of the words was and husband.

Blending: a process of word formaiton by bining parts of two words or a word plus a part of another word.

周玉明點評:

拼綴法( blending )將兩詞各与一部门或一詞减另外一詞的某一局部拼綴成一個新詞,該新詞同時具備本來兩個詞的基础意义。拼綴法是噹代英語新詞匯發展豐富的主要的搆詞体例之一。拼綴詞个别經常出現正在平常心語、報刊文章和科技文章。用拼綴法創制的新詞行簡意豐,死動別緻,輕松俏皮,合乎現代人快節奏的糊口,反应現代人的新新生涯方法和狀態。

Wasband將Was和Husband奇妙組开,讀音跟husband比較濒临,輕紧调皮;战ex-husband或former husband比拟,顯得愈加委宛。
