A portmanteau (, ) or portmanteau word (from French "porte-manteau" (coat rack) ; in French: mot-valise) is a linguistic blend of words,Garner's Modern American Usage , p. 644. in which parts of multiple words or their phonemes (sounds) are combined into a new word, as in smog, coined by blending smoke and fog, or motel, from motor and hotel. In linguistics, a portmanteau is a single morph that is analyzed as representing two (or more) underlying morphemes. The definition overlaps with the grammatical term contraction, but contractions are formed from words that would otherwise appear together in sequence, such as do and not to make don't, whereas a portmanteau word is formed by combining two or more existing words that all relate to a singular concept.

Le Manteau Chinois by J. D. Fergusson (1909) The Scottish Colourists were a group of four painters, three from Edinburgh, whose Post-Impressionist work, though not universally recognized initially, came to have a formative influence on contemporary Scottish art and culture. They were Francis Cadell, John Duncan Fergusson, Leslie Hunter and Samuel Peploe. These four artists had much in common, hence the appellation ‘Scottish Colourists’. The art historian Duncan Macmillan wrote > “In the end the justification for continuing to treat them separately though > is their collective achievement and international reputation that they have > earned as four of the most gifted painters of their generation in Britain.” The expression ‘Scottish Colourists’ according to Macmillan may have first been used as early as 1915 in the Studio magazine.

Man Ray, 1920, The Coat-Stand (Porte manteau), reproduced in New York dada (magazine), Marcel Duchamp and Man Ray, April, 1921New York dada (magazine), Marcel Duchamp and Man Ray, April, 1921, Bibliothèque Kandinsky, Centre Pompidou The most prominent of all the American Dadaists, Man Ray was a highly capable and innovative artist in a number of different mediums. Born in Philadelphia, he is the most prominent native artist amongst the New York Dadaists. Man Ray's style can be said to be something of a merger of mediums; his paintings, sculptures, photographs, and various constructions appear to be intertwined manifestations of all of these mediums in one. One of the ways that he managed to achieve this effect was with a purposefully careless looking way that he constructed his art.

In MS A the text which corresponds to Chrétien's poem is preceded without a break by a separate (and incomplete) Arthurian episode, now called Der Mantel ("The Cloak"), which involves a chastity test with a magic cloak — of all the ladies in the court, Enite comes closest to winning. This episode is introduced in the manuscript by a single heading which treats Der Mantel and Erec as constituting a single work. Der Mantel has its source not in Chrétien but in the Old French fabliau Du manteau mautaillié. In the 19th century Der Mantel was ascribed to Heinrich von dem Türlin, whose Diu Crône ("The Crown") was thought to contain a reference to a lost Lancelot romance of his which included this motif of the chastity-testing cloak.

(One of these blades was a knife four inches long with which he struck the King through a very thick overcoat & all his clothes, in a way that the wound was fortunately scarcely more significant than a pinprick.)

The prisoners produced a weekly newspaper, Le Canard en KG. "KG" is the German abbreviation for Kriegsgefangener ("Prisoner of War"), and in French this was pronounced as Le canard encagé ("The Caged Duck"), a reference to the popular satirical journal Le Canard enchaîné.
