Is the word everyone a compound word?

No, "everyone" is not a compound word.

Compound words are formed by combining two or more words. Examples include:

* fireplace (fire + place)

* rainbow (rain + bow)

* butterfly (butter + fly)

"Everyone" is a single word that has evolved over time from the phrase "every one". While it originated as a combination of two words, it is now considered a single, indivisible word.
