The adjective "blood-red" is a morphological compound consisting of two bases, not two separate words. The first base, "blood" is a noun, the second base, "red" an adjective. | |

| Sep 4, 2019 at 21:54 | comment | added | Andrew Leach♦ | When blood red is a compound modifier, it should be hyphenated. Actually, that makes it a far more interesting question: is blood still an attributive noun in the compound modifier blood-red? | |
