It's a noun. A full sentence needs only a subject (noun) and a verb, and you can say, "Compassion exists." Therefore, since "exist" is a verb, "compassion" is a noun. You can use that trick for lots of words, and conversely, if it doesn't fit in a two-word sentence like that then you know it isn't a noun or a verb.
