Summary/Abstract: This article offers a short review of some aspects of the word formation in Latin, in particular through nominal compounding. The main issues here are the semantic definition of the compound words, the classification according to criteria such as meaning, the order of the component elements and syntactic relations within the compound word. Also included are the systematic approach, the bahuvrīhi compounds and the concept of syntheme versus syntagm.
