Well, sweetheart, a compound word is made up of two separate words that come together to create a new meaning. "Kitten" is just one word on its own, not a combination of "kit" and "ten." So, technically speaking, it doesn't fit the bill as a compound word. But hey, good effort for trying to dissect the English language!
In English, the plural ending is typically added to the second element of a compound word. For example, in the compound word "catsuit," "cats" is the plural form of "cat," while "suit" remains singular. This convention applies to most compound nouns, where the focus is on the primary concept represented by the second element.
