Question

weekend is closed compound or open compound word​

Answer 1

Compound Words

Explanation:

• When two words are used together to yield a new meaning, a compound is made.
• Compound words may be written in three ways: as open compounds (spelled as two words, e.g., ice cream), closed compounds (joined to create one word, e.g., doorknob), or hyphenated compounds (two words joined by a hyphen, e.g., long-term).
• Sometimes, over two words can form a compound (e.g., mother-in-law).
• The most common spelling quandary writers face is whether or not to put in writing compounds as separate words, one word, or hyphenated words.
• As for that hyphen, “weekend” evolved like most compound words: they sometimes begin life as two separate words, are later hyphenated, and eventually become one solid word, though this process may be a small messy.

The word weekend is a closed compound word.
