/ˈskiˌnuː/

Definitions

A small boat that is a cross between a jetski and a canoe.

Examples

“In skinoe (ski + canoe), the word canoe functions as the semantic head, since skinoe is a type of canoe.”
“For example, a dogbrella ‘an umbrella for a dog’ is a type of umbrella or a skinoe (based on ski and canoe) is a type of canoe. It is worth noting that some adjectives may also belong to this category, e.g. funtastic (fun + fantastic) ‘very enjoyable’.”
“For instance, the endocentric blend skinoe, which results from the fusion of ski and canoe, is a hyponym of the second base word and the rightmost member functions as the head.”
