We're both right.

1. large trunk or suitcase, typically made of stiff leather and opening into two equal parts.
   
   
2. 2.
   a word blending the sounds and combining the meanings of two others, for example motel (from ‘motor’ and ‘hotel’) or brunch (from ‘breakfast’ and ‘lunch’).
   "podcast is a portmanteau, a made-up word coined from a combination of the words iPod and broadcast"
