The opposite of simple; composed of several similar parts;

Of an inflorescence, where there are two orders of branching, i.e. first order and second order;

Of fruit, derived from more than one flower.

A sealing material consisting of a water sol- vent dispersion of rubber placed in the curl of the can end. The compound aids in effecting a hermetic seal by filling spaces or voids in the double seam of a container.

Consisting of two or more anatomically or morphologically equivalent units.

Leaves or flowers made up of many individual small flowers or leaflets.

Leaves that are made up of leaflets, such as pinnate and palmate leaves.

Consisting of two or more anatomically or morphologically equivalent units.

Describes a leaf divided into two or more smaller leaflets.

Composed of several similar parts, in fruits derived from several flowers, of inflorescences and leaves when there are several orders of branching.

Any substance composed of two or more different elements.

A chemical substance made up of two or more components.

Consisting of smaller, simple units—thus a compound leaf consists of 2 to many leaflets arranged in regular fashion, a compound umbel consists of many small umbels on stalks which are themselves arranged in an umbel (as in carrots); and a compound fruit consists of many fruits pressed or fused together on a single stalk (as in pineapple).

Made up of two or more parts.

Substance composed of two or more elements chemically combined in definite proportions and usually differing in properties from the elements considered separately; for example, table salt, nonpoisonous at normal levels, consists of two highly poisonous elements sodium and chloride; generally, any combination of several things {compare element).

A substance composed of two or more units or parts combined in definite proportions by weight and having specific properties of its own. Compounds are formed by all living organisms and are of two types, organic and inorganic.

Complex substances arise through the chemical amalgamation of two or more elements, resulting in compounds of intricate composition.

In the field of chemistry, the concept of a compound refers to a substance composed of two or more elements that are chemically bonded together. Similarly, within the realm of pharmacy, a compound denotes a formulation that encompasses a multitude of ingredients.
