Examples of closed compound words are: moonlight, classroom, and sunflower. ... Hyphenated compound words are formed by using a hyphen, a small dash used to connect words together. Numbers like fifty-nine and twenty-one are hyphenated compound words.
When two words are used together to yield a new meaning, a compound is formed. ... Sometimes, more than two words can form a compound (e.g., mother-in-law). The most common spelling quandary writers face is whether to write compounds as separate words, one word, or hyphenated words.
In English grammar, compounding (pronounced [KOM-pownd-ing]) is the process of combining two words (free morphemes) to create a new word (commonly a noun, verb, or adjective). Also called composition it is from the Latin for "put together".

Answer:

The term ON-DUTY is a hyphenated compound word made up of the words ON (preposition) and DUTY, both nouns (Noun).

Explanation:

A COMPOUD Term is a word formed from two or more words to form a new, meaningful word. There are three categories of compound words:

1. Open compound words: e.g. living room, ice cream etc.

2. close compound words: e.g. Newspaper, superman, fireman etc.

3. Hyphenated compound words: e.g. mother-in-law, up-to-date etc.

These words all combine a noun, a verb, an adverb, an adjective, a preposition, etc.
