Compound-words are formed of two words, but they fail to meet the mid-dot standard, which is:  if you know the meaning of the two words, you know the meaning of a mid-dot word, e.g. "gun·boat". The first choice when creating a new word is a mid-dot word, where no memorization is required.  Second choice is good compound-word.  Compound words are good when they are easy to remember, add color to the language (e.g. "cocktail"), preserve cultural heritage, leave a nice feeling ("afterglow") and/or have a pleasant sound..  Two-word combinations that don't quite meet mid-dot standards are often good compound words. Mediocre compound-words are comprised of words whose meaning, taken togehter, is different from the meaning of the compound word.  Therefore they are comfusing, and difficult to remember.  Usable for now, but best to phase them out of Peoplese language. Poor compound words mislead - suggest erroneous meanings  Avoid if possible..
