The worst part of the article is them using the term frunk unironically.
I think frunk is a good word. What would you call a trunk that is in the front of the car.
A trunk. There’s nothing about that word that indicates location.
It's implied at this point
No not really. Plenty of rear and mid engine cars have had a trunk up front.
Frussy
Yes.
Trussy
Which indicates the existence of Brussy ... somewhere inside the Batmobile ...
A Trood or Tronnet for the British folk.
Froot, actually, my good man.
Froot and Fronnet could work. Nice
A normal trunk in the back isn't a "bunk".
Why is frunk a good name for the front? It's silly.
Well traditionally, cars only had one trunk, now it is common that they have two. The need arose to distinguish them, and 'front trunk' easily collapses into a nice single syllable portmanteau that makes communication simple and concise; the language evolves and a new word is born.
