A compound usually refers to a lexeme/word (or arguably phrase) that contains multiple lexical units/stems.
Compounding (also known as composition) refers to creating words from more than one unit of meaning, often things that are/can be free morphemes. (it is in some ways similar to what morphology usually does with function morphemes, but with content units instead)
