No, the noun 'honesty' is not a compound noun. The noun honesty is a common, uncountable, abstract noun; a word for a quality or condition of truthfulness, integrity, sincerity.


A compound noun is a noun made up of two or more words merged into one word with a meaning of its own. There are three types of compound nouns:



open spaced: tennis shoe, front door, paint brush


hyphenated: mother-in-law, fifty-five, six-pack


closed: bathtub, Baseball, houseboat, dishwasher
