One of the easiest ways of forming new words in putting two (or morę) old words together.

A compound is a lexeme which is madę up of two (or morę) other lexemes. Compounds in English are not always written in a consistent fashion for example south-east can be written with a hyphen, or with a space (south east) or fused (southeast).

Examples heat rash fiu virus spaghetti jun.... night bird, night

happy rash,

potato pancake toilet seat bookcase, car

Meaning relationships A CAUSES B A IS CAUSED BY B B RESEMBLES A B IS AT TIME A cap

A IS AT PLACE B earache B IS MADĘ OF A B IS PART OF A B IS FOR A pack

This list is not exhaustive.

Compounds are therefore potentially ambiguous on the first encounter. Ali the examples are of two-word compounds of the type NOUN+NOUN. They're of course other kinds of compounds as well.
