Answer:

The word Driftwood refers to those wooden pieces which can be found floating on water bodies. They are consequently washed ashore.

Explanation:

  • When two meaningful words are connected to form a new word with a meaning different from the joined words, they are known as compound words.
  • For example: Land + lord= Landlord, jet + stream= Jetstream etc.
  • In this question, the word driftwood is made up of two words: drift and wood.
  • The verb drift means to float or slide away.
  • Wood refers to the hard substance found on the trunk or branches of trees.
