Someone asked

Have you heard about Froogle?
I have to say I was not informed
so I let went to search Google.

Here is what I found
Froogle is a price engine website launched by Google Inc. It is currently in its development stages. Users can type product queries to return lists of vendors selling a particular product, as well as pricing information. The name Froogle is a portmanteau of the word frugal, which means thrifty, and the name of the company, Google. Froogle is of course pronounced the same as frugal. "cute"
portmanteau:
1584, "traveling case or bag for clothes and other necessaries," from M.Fr. "traveling bag," originally "court official who carried a prince's mantle" (1547), from imperative of portemanteauporte,porter "to carry" (see porter (1)) + manteau "cloak" (see mantle). Portmanteau word "word blending the sound of two different words," is 1882, coined by Lewis Carroll for the sort of words he invented for "Jabberwocky," on notion of "two meanings packed up into one word."
