KANGAROO WORD


A kangaroo word is a word that contains letters of another synonymous word in its correct sequence. For example: the word masculine contains the word male, which is a synonym of the first word; similarly, the word alone contains its synonym lone.



Before one week, I found this interesting topic on the Internet. Then I decided to search more on this. After starting the etymology class, I was more curious about the history of words,so let's see what is the history of kangaroo Word?



The etymology of phrase kangaroo word is from the fact that kangaroos carry their young, known as joeys, in a body pouch. Likewise, kangaroo words carry their joey  words within themselves. Let's move on some examples so that make the topic more clear.

Action → Act
Alone → One
Because → Cause
Before → Ere
Blossom → Bloom
Honorable → Noble
Department → Arm
