ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Difrasismo

Okay, let's pretend that we're playing a game where we take two small words and put them together to make one big word. This game is called difrasismo.

For example, let's take the words "heart" and "break". When we put them together, we get the big word "heartbreak". This is a difrasismo!

Another example could be "rock" and "roll". When we put them together, we get the big word "rock and roll". This is another difrasismo!

Basically, difrasismo involves taking two small words and combining them to make one big word that has a different meaning. It's like making a puzzle, where the two small words fit together perfectly to create a new word that means something different than the original words on their own.
