Let’s break down each compound word into the two smaller words that make it up.
We’ll go one by one:
1.
horseshoe → “horse” + “shoe”
2.
jellyfish → “jelly” + “fish”
3.
airplane → “air” + “plane”
4.
cardboard → “card” + “board”
5.
everybody → “every” + “body”
6.
nobody → “no” + “body”
7.
inside → “in” + “side”
8.
outside → “out” + “side”
9.
toothpaste → “tooth” + “paste”
10.
grandmother → “grand” + “mother”
11.
grandfather → “grand” + “father”
12.
baseball → “base” + “ball”
13.
goodbye → “good” + “bye”
14.
backbone → “back” + “bone”
All of these are made by combining two real English words to form a new word with a related meaning.

horse + shoe = horseshoe
jelly + fish = jellyfish
air + plane = airplane
card + board = cardboard
every + body = everybody
no + body = nobody
in + side = inside
