i heard it on "says you" some months ago, and i never got the spelling. i've been trying to find the word everywhere, but as far, i've failed miserably.

the word is what you call hypenated terms like, "african-american."

the word, i believe it's pronounced: dee-vaan-va or dee-vaan-vaat

any help with this one?
