Compound leaves are leaves that are made up of leaflets. The opposite would be simple leaves.
The blades of simple leaves are undivided, although they may have deep lobes. By contrast, the blades of compound leaves consist of clearly separated leaflets. Each leaflet usually has its own petiole, which is called a petiolule. There are two types of compound leaves: pinnately compound leaves and palmately compound leaves. The leaflets in pinnately compound leaves arise from either side of an axis called the rachis, which is an extension of the petiole. The leaflets in palmately compound leaves originate at the tip of the petiole and lack the rachis.
The term that describes leaves composed of two or more leaflets on a common stalk is called compound leaves. Compound leaves have several leaflets attached to a central stalk, known as the petiole, rather than a single leaf blade. Examples of plants with compound leaves are poison ivy and clover.
Compound leaves are divided into two or more separate segments called leaflets. The leaf blade is not continuous in this type of leaf.
The leaves are opposite and pinnate (resembling a feather). There are four leaflets (two opposite pairs and no terminal leaflet).

leaflets
Simple leaves would not have the petioles. The petioles are the 'stem' that hold the leaflets to the stem. Chestnut have compound leaves. What looks like five separate leaves are really five leaflets held together.

I just looked this one up! The Rhyme is, "Leaflets three, let it be!"
Compound leaf
An ash tree has compound leaves, 5 to 9 leaflets, smooth or finely toothed around outer edge. The apex of the leaflets have a point.
No, the leaves are made up of cells
Scientists group leaves on the basis of their leaflets and axillary buds into simple and compound leaves; they are then further categorized according to shape and leaf venation

Fern leaves are called fronds. When they first emerge and are tightly curled, they are called fiddleheads because they look like the top end of a violin. Fronds.
