absolutely zero relation between italian portamento and french porte-manteau
for anyone else curious:
portamento = Italian, “slidey music thing”
porte-manteau = French, “suitcase thing”
portmanteau = English, “a new word made from two other words”
they are all related to each other etymologically but they do mean three completely different things
