Is cerements a portmanteau word? (Ceremonial garments.)
i think cerements comes from cerecloths, cered cloth meaning waxed cloth ( for wrapping the dead in), it's a pretty old word and not a portmanteau ( reckon, not sure and really should be proofreading not awadding so i'm not going to back this one up)
