I. Look at these words from the story:
1. newly-wed wife 2.bus stop 3. Forehead
They are all compound words. A compound word is a union of two or more words to
convey a unit idea or special meaning that is not as clearly or quickly conveyed by separated words. As shown above, compound words may be hyphenated, written open (as separate words), or written solid (closed). The use of compounding in English is an evolving process.
As expressions become more popular or adopt special meanings, they follow a gradual
evolution from two or more separate or hyphenated words to single words.

The words in the first, second and third columns are called ‘open compounds’, ‘hyphenated compounds’ and ‘closed compounds’ respectively.
In this unit we focus on hyphenated compounds.
A hyphenated compound is a combination of words joined by a hyphen or hyphens.
Here, the hyphen aids understanding and readability and ensures correct pronunciation. Words are hyphenated mainly to express the idea of a unit and to avoid ambiguity.
