Group work. “Fishbone” diagram

A  compound word  is a word made up from two or more other words joined together. They are often created to describe a new concept or idea and are thus neologisms‏‎. As a simple example, take the words foot and ball. These were brought together to describe the game: football. Likewise the following are just a few of the many, many compound words in English: eyesight, airport, overtake, earthworm, homework, brainwash… Exercise: 1 p. 167.
