"one-eyed"

[clarissa888784]

Is this word an exocentric compound or an endocentric compound?

Thank U!!!

Where did you come across that terminology? To a native speaker who just knows that '<anything>-centric' refers to a central point, it seems meaningless (which is not to say that some academic [feathering his own nest by inventing complex terminology that only other specialists will understand] hasn't coined it!)

What do you think is the answer?

(BTW You can see an outline of the types of compound here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compound_(linguistics))

Aha. Still, don't expect me to like it, teach it, or use it ;-)
