multi-word
Not single term
Multi-word describes something consisting of more than one word.
A multi-word expression functions as a single unit of meaning: Multi-word phrases like "kick the bucket" can't be understood from their individual parts.
The term appears in linguistics and language teaching to describe compound terms, idioms, and fixed phrases.
