Dec 6, 2018 at 1:40 comment added Aidan Miles I've edited the question to specify that I'm interested in non-hyphenated words. I really don't care whether you consider a word to be allowed to have hyphens or not; rather, I'm curious if anyone knows a word that I'm looking for. Like many things in writing, it's not that big a deal.

Emphasized the interest in words without hyphens, without worrying about whether hyphenated words are single words or not
Dec 4, 2018 at 22:20 comment added Robbie Goodwin Really, Aidan? Can you explain why you can't accept a hyphen? In any case, can you explain what your dictionaries, thesauruses or search engines left unclear?

Feb 28, 2014 at 0:26 comment added Aidan Miles Fair point. Either way, I don't want a hyphen.
Feb 27, 2014 at 23:55 comment added Edwin Ashworth You claim that 'temperature-related' ... is not a single word'. It depends on the definition of word. This source has: 'Is there an accepted rule in publishing about whether hyphenated words and phrases are counted as one word or multiple words?' ... 'I've seen both ways listed in submission guidelines, so I'm not sure there is one definitive answer.'
