Model or tarted-up woman making brunch for one? (11,4)

I believe the answer is:

portmanteau word

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'brunch for one?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how they can define each other.

'model or tarted-up woman' is the wordplay.
'model' indicates anagramming the letters (the solver must model the letters into a new form).
'or'+'tarted'+'up'+'woman'='ortartedupwoman'
'ortartedupwoman' anagrammed gives 'PORTMANTEAU WORD'.

'making' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for portmanteau word that I've seen before include "Televangelist perhaps" , "fanzine, for one" , "E.g. biopic" , "motel, perhaps" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
