Compound words are any two words that can stand alone or be put together without a space because of how commonly they are used together.
For example, sometimes they have a different meaning:
I have a cat.
I went for a walk.
The model came down the catwalk.
sometimes they have the same meaning:
I have a fish.
He lives in a bowl.
That is my fishbowl.

Compound words are words that are created from two or more smaller words. They usually retain some of the meaning of each of the root words (root words are the smaller words). For example: newspaper, pigtail, carpet, sandpaper, handbag, handgun, pigsty, armpit.
