National Nationalise Denationalisation Antidenationalisation Preantidenationalisation Denationalise

4 Compounding A compound word contains at least two bases which are both words or at any rate, root morpheme. Try to analise these compound words into their constituent. Teapot, week-end, hairdresser, kind-hearted
