Compound words are words made up of two or more simple words. It is very difficult to define complex textile terms for women's clothing in English, because many terms are borrowed from other languages and it is difficult to understand the structure of the term. For example, the term hourpelande is derived from the French language, so it takes a lot of effort to determine its structure. But there are also terms whose structure is not difficult to determine. For example, Bel-palto is a vest (from the words waist and coat); waist belt - waist belt; big coat - coat (from the words big and coat); undershirt - undershirt; baby stuart car - a large wide-brimmed hat decorated with feathers and flowers; gibsongirl - a straw hat with a low crown and a narrow or raised brim; robinhoodhat - a cone-shaped hat decorated with long bird feathers; pullover - sweater (from the words to pull and over).
