For example: the word ''masculine'' contains the word ''male'', which is a synonym of the first word; similarly, the word ''observe'' contains its synonym ''see''. ==Etymology== The etymology of the 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. ''Twin kangaroos'' are kangaroo words containing two joey words (for example: ''container'' features both ''tin'' and ''can''). In contrast, an ''anti-kangaroo'' word is a word that contains its antonym; for example: ''covert'' carries ''overt'', ''animosity'' carries ''amity''. Some compilers require that the letters of the joey word not be consecutive within the kangaroo word,〔D. Morice, ''The Dictionary of Wordplay'', Teachers & Writers, 2001, ISBN 0-915924-99-4, retrieved by (Google Books Search ) on 1 Dec, 2007〕〔(A Word A Day, retrieved 1 Dec 2007 )〕 or that the kangaroo and joey words must be etymologically unrelated.〔 Kangaroo words were originally popularized as a word game by Ben O'Dell in an article for ''The American Magazine'', volume 151, during the 1950s. This was later reprinted in ''the Reader's Digest''.〔 Ben L. O'Dell, ''Kangaroo Words'', The Reader's Digest volume 64, 1954, The Reader's Digest Association〕〔 The editors of the Reader's Digest, ''Test and Teasers'', 1980, The Reader's Digest Association〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kangaroo word」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
