WORD BUILDING: Compounds
A compound noun, adjective or verb is a fixed expression which is made up of more than one word and functions as a single word, e.g. photolithography, diffraction-limited. Compounds may be written as two words or they may be written with a hyphen instead of a space between the words, e.g. life-span, leading-edge. Some compounds are written with a hyphen and occasionally as two separate words, e.g. well-being and well being. Sometimes they may be written as one word, e.g. cross-over and crossover. Unfortunately, there is no rule for this, so you may need to check in a dictionary.
Usually the main stress is on the first part of the compound, e.g. bedside ['bedsaɪd], but sometimes it is on the second part, e.g. electrocardiogram [ɪˌlektrəu'kɑːdɪəgræm].
