It is an endocentric compound ;) It's a kind of yard where there are graves
In an endocentric compound, one element is the head that determines the category of the compound, while the other element specifies the meaning more precisely (e.g., 'blackbird,' where 'bird' is the head). In an exocentric compound, the meaning does not rely on one element to determine the category, and the compound's meaning must be derived from outside the compound (e.g., 'pickpocket,' where the compound does not fit strictly into the category of either 'pick' or 'pocket').
The term "white-collar" is generally considered exocentric because it does not refer to a specific type of worker but rather describes a category of jobs typically associated with office settings and professional work. The term itself is derived from the color of dress shirts commonly worn in such environments, rather than denoting a specific attribute of the workers. Thus, "white-collar" describes a broader concept rather than a characteristic of the individuals within that group.
