The meaning of a compound doesn’t come from the superposition of the free words, but a totally new one e.g. greenhouse mother wit dog days greenhorn Indian paper greenback

The Semantic Analysis of Compound Word
Compounding is most ancient method of word-formation, most distinctive feature of O.E. The first part modifies the second part The compound word is usually very vivid by containing rhetorical devices, as metaphor, metonymy, synecdoche (see Pp40-2)

Relation between Roots & Affixes

Most suffixes change the part of speech of the root Most prefixes don’t affect the part of speech and its grammatical category of the root, rather they modify or limit the semantic meaning of the root as adj. & adv. (see Pp28-9)

Compound is treated as an independent word and grammatical part in a sentence Inflectional change can only occur at the end of the compound
The stress usually falls on the first part of the compound The compound is usually written continuously or linked with hyphen
