Answer

Hyphenated words such as 'check-up', can be considered as a 'single' word. I think it would be reasonable to call 'check-up' or 'follow-up' a word, for example. 'Make-up' is certainly a word, and is sometimes not even hyphenated.

'Out of place' for example, is not hyphenated, so it is a phrase.

Answer

i think these are words that have one meaning

Answer

out of the country
out of place
follow-up
check-up
makeup
proactive
