Bamboo is not a compound word. A compound word is essentially a word that is created by putting two independent words together, that could stand alone if you were to break the compound word into two. An example of a compound word is dragonfly, or bookworm! Since the word bamboo does not break into two words that can stand on their own, you can know that it is not a compound word.

How can you tell if a word is a compound word?

Separate a word into two words going letter by letter until the two words you created are actually words in whatever language the original word was. :) Butterfly: Butter & fly! Keyboard: Key & board! ~Megan~ By your definition then, the words season and bamboo would be compound words, but they aren't. Sea + son = season or bam + boo = bamboo. The thing to remember is even though there may be two separate words within the word, if the original word was already one word, then it isn't a compound. season...is a word without separation of sea and son. Bamboo is a word without separation of bam and boo.
