absolutely zero relation between italian portamento and french porte-manteau

mortimermcmirestinks

for anyone else curious:

portamento = Italian, “slidey music thing”

porte-manteau = French, “suitcase thing”

portmanteau = English, “a new word made from two other words”

they are all related to each other etymologically but they do mean three completely different things
