Composite

In linguistics, composites are words that were formulated by mixing multiple words as one undivided meaningful unit. Examples of composites may be bleeding-edge, coming-of-age, know-where-to-park, etc. These words can be made up with multiple distinct morphemes that are linked together with hyphens, however there are a few exceptions. One of them is the word rock’n’roll that instead of spelling the full word shortens it and links the components with apostrophes [1, 78-104].
Other ways to form composites is to unite multiple words with a linking syllable, for example handicapped, Anglo-Saxon, etc. Compound words can also be formed by shortening multiple stems and putting them together (examples: football, starfish, philosophy). Not to be confused with other types of word formation: blending, back-formation, abbreviation.
