Question

What is Hyphenated Compound Words?

Answer 1

Hyphens are used in many compound words to show that the component words have a combined meaning (e.g. a pick-me-up, mother-in-law, good-hearted) or that there is a relationship between the words that make up the compound: for example, rock-forming minerals are minerals that form rocks.

Answer 2

 A compound word is a combination of two or more words that function as a single unit of meaning. There are three types of compounds: Those written as single words, with no hyphenation, are called closed compounds-the word "flowerpot," for example.
