The word something is a solid/closed compound.

It two different words put together to form a new word with new meaning.

Some+Thing= Something

Some:

adjective: being one unknown, unnamed, or unspecified unit, amount or number.

adverb: reasonably close to; to an unknown degree.

pronoun: a part or quantity of an item; an indefinite additional amount.

Thing: noun:

1. A matter of concern.

2. A product of work or activity.

3. A particular object

Something:

An unnamed or unspecified person or item.

A compound word is a word that is composed of two or more separate words that are combined to make a new word.

Open compounds are formed when two or more words are put together and are separated by spaces.

Ex: credit card, swimming pool, ice cream, post office

Solid/Closed Compounds are formed when two or more words are put together and do not need to be separated.

Ex: mailbox, sunshine, bookmark, shoelace

Hyphenated compounds are formed when two or more words are put together and are separated using a hyphen.

Ex: mother-in-law, working-class, blue-collar, well-respected, out-of-bounds, long-term
