There are three forms of compound words:

The close form, in which the words are melded together such as cupcake, keyboard, jellyfish;

The hyphenated form, such as daughter-in-law, master-at-arms, six-pack;

And the open form, such as post office, real estate, middle class, full moon, half sister.
