Citazioni 

So long as the word which enters into combination with another retains its own shape unaltered, the product is a compound only; but when, by phonetic change, its origin and identity with the still subsisting independent word are hidden, the compound becomes rather a derivative.
- Whitney (1875), a pag.52
