Compound words

What is a compound word?

Compound words are formed when two or more words are joined together to create a new word that has an entirely new meaning.

What is a compound word?

For example, “sun” and “flower” are two different words, but when fused together, they form another word, Sunflower. These words are formed by either adding a hyphen or just using the two words as a single term. The spelling of the two words is not necessarily changed when they are joined together, but the definition becomes unique.
