Hybrid

Gas-electric car type

A hybrid is something made by combining two different elements.

Originally applied to offspring of different species or varieties—a mule is a hybrid of horse and donkey—the word now extends to anything mixed: hybrid cars use both gasoline and electric power, hybrid courses blend in-person and online instruction.

The building's architecture is a hybrid of modern and classical styles.
