KANGAROO WORDS
A kangaroo word is a word that carries within it a synonym of itself. The synonym is known as a 'joey'
For example:
-
MASCULINE - male
-
CHICKEN - hen
-
OBSERVE - see
-
BLOSSOM - bloom
Some words have more than one 'joey' , such as FEASTED which has a greedy 3 - fed/ eat/ ate.
To qualify as a kangaroo word the joey word has to have its letters in the same order within the kangaroo word and all the letters cannot be adjacent. So ENJOY / joy, for example, wouldn't qualify as a kangaroo word.
