Is lip gloss a compound word?

Yes, "lip gloss" is a compound word.

Here's why:

* It combines two separate words ("lip" and "gloss") to create a new word with a different meaning.

* The meaning is not simply the sum of the parts. "Lip gloss" refers to a specific type of cosmetic, not just "lips" that are "glossy".
