Verizon:
Verizon is a combination of the Latin word "veritas", and the English word "horizon". It is a portmanteau word; that is, a word created by blending two different words.
The New College Latin and English Dictionary defines VERITAS as "truth, truthfulness; real life, reality; honesy, integrity; correctness."
Merriam Websters Dictionary defines HORIZON literally as "the apparent junction of earth and sky," and metaphorically as "something that might be attained." Horizon is an English word derived from Latin.
