What are Compound Words?

Compound words are made by joining two or more words; the combination creates a new word. They can be formed using two nouns, e.g. basketball, two non-nouns, e.g. blowup, or a noun and non-noun, e.g. sunrise. It is important to note that the words do not always keep their original meaning, e.g. breakfast. Our list of compound words contains 500 words.

There are three types of compound words:

• Closed compound words, e.g., football, peanut,
• Open compound words, e.g., cell phone, high school, and
• Hyphenated compound words, e.g., in-depth, runner-up.

List of Compound Words

To determine if a compound word is one word, two words or hyphenated, use a dictionary to look up the word or our lists below. The list below excludes both fractions and compound numbers from 21 to 91. These words are hyphenated, e.g., two-thirds, one-half, thirty-nine and ninety-one.

Closed Words

These words have no spaces. Our list contains hundreds of words, so we organized them in alphabetical order. Click on a letter below to obtain a list of those compound words.

Open Words

Open compound words have a space between the words. The following are open compound words:

Hyphenated Words

The list below excludes spelled out fractions and compound numbers from 21 to 91. Please note you hyphenate all spelled out fractions, e.g., two-thirds, one-half, and compound numbers from 21 to 91, e.g., thirty-nine, ninety-one. The following are hyphenated compound words:

Inflated legs and pumped Russian. 10 sports words that are often misunderstood

Spring is the time when even the most unsportsmanlike people take out their sports uniform and check if the subscription to the fitness club has burned down (of course, this is not about you!). And we, as usual, are uncovering the spelling dictionary - in the new issue of Literacy, we talk about sports-related words that can cause difficulties in writing.

Correct: Subscription to the fitness club

With this card we kill two birds with one stone. First, we turn to French, in which abonnement is "subscription, payment in advance." As you can see, in Russian the spelling of the word has not changed much, only the double "H" has disappeared. Secondly, we remind you that you don’t need to double the consonant in “fitness”, even though it is double in the English word (fitness).

More important: the first part of compound words “fitness” is written with a hyphen: “fitness cocktail”, “fitness card”, “fitness club”. But we would have written the word "sport club" together - like all compound words with the first part "sport-".

Correct: First practice

The most difficult thing, as usual, is to take the first step. Well, then (through pain and tears) to return for at least one more workout. Yes, yes, the word "training" is spelled that way, and don't try to check it with the noun "coach".

The fact is that in both of these words ("training" and "trainer") the root is limited to the first four letters - "tren". And then there are suffixes: "-ir-", "-ov-" and "-k-" in the noun "training", formed from the verb "train", and "-er" - in "coach".

Correct: Severe coaches

It would seem, how can you make a mistake in the word "coach"? And here's how: it's wrong to form the plural form. So in our case, the coaches are harsh only because they take too much time to choose the end.

The risk of error arises from the fact that some plural nouns have already come into use in two variants (for example, "contracts" and "contracts"). But the literary and correct for most of them is still the same, more often these are the more familiar endings for us “-i”, “-s”: “editors”, “authors”, “coaches”. But you need to keep in mind that somewhere near them there are always normative "doctors", "professors" and "directors". If you are not sure about spelling, it is better to check it in a dictionary.

Correct: About 300 sit-ups

Now real tough coaches have entered the chat, who do not spare anyone. However, like the Russian language: why is it correct to write “sit”, but “squats”? The answer can be found in the Handbook of Spelling and Punctuation, edited by Lopatin.

The fact is that, apart from the roots with alternating vowels, which everyone heard about in school more than once (“-gar-” / “-gor-”, “-cas-” / “-kos-”, “- grew (t) -" / "-ras (t) -" / "-groves-", etc. ), there are also slightly neglected roots with vowels "I" and "E". These include “-shine (k, t) -” / “-shine-” / “-shine-”, “-lip-/ -lep-”, “-vis-/ -weight-” and “-sid- / -sed-".

How do you know when to write "sed" and when "sid"? Before the soft “D”, “I” is written in the root: “sit”, “nurse”, “sit up”, and so on. If “D” is solid, “E” is written in the root: “saddle”, “sciatic”, “chairman”, “sit”, “squat”, etc. Of course, this does not apply to words in which the stress falls on the root : "imprisonment", "sit down", "squat" (yes, yes, it's correct to say "squat"!).

And as a hitch, a reminder about numerals. In the genitive case, the numerals "two hundred", "three hundred" and the rest in "-hundred" have the forms "two hundred", "three hundred", and so on.

Correct: But the legs will be inflated!

We continue our linguistic training. If you regularly do squats, will your legs be “inflated” or “inflated”? The catch is that both of these participles exist, but they are formed from different verbs.

“Inflated” is a participle from the verb “roll”, it is with the help of the suffix “-enn” from verbs in “-it” that passive past participles are formed. It is unlikely that you will be able to apply this word to muscular legs, you must agree. You can roll somewhere a barrel, a wheel or something else that can roll.

But from the verb “pump up” (to “-at”) with the help of the suffix “-ann-”, the participle “pumped up” is already formed. So the legs, buttocks, lips and everything else that can be pumped up will be exactly “pumped up”.

Correct: Heavy dumbbell

Hands will also be inflated if you periodically take dumbbells in them. Difficulties with "dumbbells" in Russian arise precisely because they are most often mentioned in pairs. And if there is only one, how to say correctly - "dumbbell" or "dumbbell"?

The word comes from the German hantel, and in Russian it is still a “dumbbell”, not a “dumbbell”. If you use a noun in the genitive case in the plural, do not forget about the ending: it is correct to write “many dumbbells” (not “dumbbell”!).

Correct: How many calories are in this avocado?

We don't know if you ask these questions. Here, as always, we are more interested in linguistic questions: is it worth doubling the consonant in "cal (l) ori"?

Let's turn to the etymology: this is a French word, and in the original there are no double letters in it (calorie). In Russian, doubling the consonant is also not necessary, you have to remember it. As well as the name of the most "skinny" fruit - "avocado".

Correct: Excessive weight loss

Correct: Excessive weight loss

The main thing is not to get carried away by counting calories too much, otherwise you can lose weight that is not at all extra pounds. With the nouns on this card, this is a surprise: both of them are recorded in dictionaries, just “weight loss” is formed from the verb “lose weight”, and “weight loss” is formed from the verb “lose weight” (yes, there is one).

The words “lose weight” and “weight loss” are considered more stylistically neutral, the noun “weight loss” and the verb “lose weight” are still colloquial. But, as statistics show, they are used quite often: for the query "weight loss" in Yandex - 23 thousand impressions per month, and in Google - 400 thousand results.

Correct: Stretching close to home!

Have you seen an advertisement for "stretching" somewhere? We don’t think that clicking on it is a good idea, because at the other end, probably, they don’t know much about “stretching”. Stretching is essentially the same as stretching (from English stretching).

The noun is recorded in the dictionaries of the Russian language, and in the middle it still retains the consonant "T", as in the original. By the way, the name of the elastic fabric, which you have definitely heard about, is from here - “stretch” (and not “stretch” at all).
