not sure what u want done with this but an example of one is toothbrush, there are two seperate words in this and put together they make a new word.

tooth // brush
bitter. //. sweet
blue // berry
etc

other words can include
cardiology
breaking it down the root is
cardi - meaning heart
o is a combining vowel
logy - the study of
so this word means the study of the heart heart studies

another
hyperthyroidism
hyper is more than normal
thyroid is your thyroid gland and
ism is condition of :)
