The word 'secondhand' is not a noun, it's an adjective (secondhand car) and an adverb (buying secondhand). A proper adjective is an adjective used as a name or a title.
The word 'second hand' (open spaced compound noun) is a common noun; a word for the third hand of a clock or a watch that measures the seconds; any second hand on any clock or watch.
A proper noun is the name of a person, place, thing, or a title; for example:
- 'The Second Hand of Time' episode of D.N. Angel, the Japanese manga series
- 'Second Hand Rose', words & music by Grant Clarke & James F. Hanley
Although Mr. Clarke used the open form of the compound noun for the title of his song, 'Second Hand Rose' is about a person who wears secondhand clothes, not the hands of clocks. As a song writer, he used poetic license. Isn't it interesting that a second hand on a clock is actually the third hand...
