What is "compounding"?
Compounding is a word formation process that combines two or more independent words to create a new word with a specific meaning. The resulting compound word typically reflects the meanings of its individual parts. For example, "toothbrush" combines "tooth" and "brush" to describe a tool used for cleaning teeth. Compounding can occur in various forms, including closed compounds, where the words are written together, like "notebook", and open compounds, where they are written separately, like "ice cream". This process enriches vocabulary and allows for precise expression by creating new terms to convey complex ideas.
