One of the most important processes in language growth and vocabulary expansion is word formation. Because of its productivity, semantic flexibility, and cross-linguistic occurrence, compounding has a major place among word-formation mechanisms. With references to its use in other languages, this research explores compounding as one of the main strategies for generating new lexical units in English. The article examines the classification of compound words, examines their structural and semantic properties, and assesses their contribution to vocabulary enrichment. The results show that compounding is still a very successful and productive word-formation process that greatly enhances linguistic creativity and communicative efficacy.
