Does multitasking have a hyphen?

No, "multitasking" does not have a hyphen. It is a compound word formed by combining "multi" and "tasking," and it is commonly written as a single word. Hyphens are typically used in compound adjectives or when clarity is needed, but in this case, "multitasking" is well-established as a standalone term.
