multiword
More than one
Multiword describes something consisting of more than one word.
The term appears mainly in linguistics and language processing, where a multiword expression or multiword unit functions as a single semantic entity: kick the bucket, by and large, hot dog.
These phrases behave like single vocabulary items despite containing multiple words.
