The term "marathon" is not a compound word in the traditional sense, as it is derived from the Greek word "Marathon," which refers to the battlefield of the Battle of Marathon. However, in a broader linguistic context, some might view "marathon" as a compound of "marathon" (the place) and the concept of a long-distance race. Nonetheless, it does not consist of two separate, independent words combined, which is the typical definition of a compound word.
