A compound term is
a combination of two or more words that, to varying degrees, have become
unified in form and meaning through frequent use together. In many cases only
one syllable in the compound is stressed. The trend over the years has been for
the English compound to begin as two separate words, then be hyphenated and
finally, if there is no structural impediment to union, become a single word
written without a space or hyphen. Whatever its form, the compound frequently
serves to avoid circumlocution and create a more concise style.
