Explanation:
In linguistics, a compound may be a lexeme that consists of more than one stem. Compounding, composition or nominal composition is that the process of word formation that creates compound lexemes. Compounding occurs when two or more words or signs are joined to form a longer word or sign. A compound word may be a union of two or more words, either with or without a hyphen. It conveys a unit concept is not as clearly or quickly conveyed by the component words in unconnected succes- sion. Compound words are often written in three ways: as open compounds (spelt as two words, e.g., ice cream), closed compounds (joined to make a single word, e.g., doorknob), or hyphenated compounds (two words joined by a hyphen, e.g., long-term). Sometimes, quite two words can form a compound (e.g., mother-in-law).
