A compound modifier (also called an compound adjective or a phrasal adjective) is an adjectival or adverbal phrase of two or more words...(2+)

A more general definition is "an adjective formed by two or more words, either or both not adjectives." Many are hyphenated forms.

Examples are:

part-time (as opposed to full-time)

four-foot (having a length of four feet)

do-it-yourself (done by a non-professional)

all-too-common (typical)

high-speed (rapid)

well-known (famous)

broken-down, worn-out (dilapidated)
