Portmanteau or blending is when you clip two words and bring them together to form a new word. What you see in many Filipino names is a portmanteau of the parents’ names. In modern terms, shipping names. This was how the title of this book was created. Damdam (feelings) + halaman (plants) = damdaman. Similarly, the term “damdamin” means feelings in Filipino.
