Best Answer

A compound word is formed only from two elements both used as independent words. Although care and fully are indeed used as words on their own, the base word here is careful, and ful is not a complete word. Since careful is not a compound word, neither is carefully.

Why isnt bracelet a compound word?

because a compound word is not when ANY two words are put together, but when both words combined... each having something to do with the full word. Like necklace would be a compound word because it is a LACE that goes around your NECK, and both words have something to do with the full word, necklace. Brace has nothing to do with a wrist unless you have on for your wrist, but this is a piece of jewelry. and let has nothing to do with your wrist whatsoever... so that is why bracelet is not a compound word. Plz reply! :)
