The definition of portmanteau in this instance is a word made by combining 2 or more other words, e.g. animatronics, famicom or cyborg

Woohoo!
I love playing the Foreigner Card... i.e. using my Babylon. 
• Fipple
A fipple mouthpiece uses a narrow windway and a blade-like edge to channel and vibrate air blown into it. It is commonly found on end-blown woodwind instruments such as the tin whistle and the recorder.
And it can't count as cheating, because as a foreigner I'm allowed to use a dictionary!
WOOHOO!

Oh wait, I missed the second part of the definition...
'The term fipple properly refers to the block, typically of wood, that forms the floor of the windway.
A fipple flute in other words, is simply a flute that you play from the top instead of the side.'

But where would the 'i' come from?
Fudge-icing apple, perhaps.

Correct, the fipple is the bit in a flagiolet which makes the bit you blow down...that's not quite as eloquent as I'd like but I blame the beer
