There is no opposite per se for the word hyphen. Since it is used to connect a compound word, divide could be a stretch for the opposite.

When dealing with compound words (such as higher-up) the opposite of a hyphen is a space. When the hyphen is used to break a word into parts (as might be found at the end of a line) its opposite would be an unbroken word.
