Looking for a word meaning something like hyphenated compound

[Orthodox]

I'm looking for a specific term, that means something like neologism, or compound word all in one.
But it's not a usual hyphenated compound term. It's the definition of a coined term that is refering to one thing, yet using two senses of this same one referent in the term; for example the term Hesperus-Vesper. - not a great example, but that's all I can think of. I know this has a word for it, but I can't remember what it is.

Portmanteau word?

Does this help?

[Baldric]

Are you thinking of something like COINAGE which as well as the coin of the realm also refers to the invention of a new word or phrase?

[wolf63]

Portmanteau - as in Subo instead of Susan Boyle.

[Baldric]

I think sandy has it!

[Orthodox]

It's not portmanteau, because there is no merging going on in the term; the two words in the one term are kept quite separate by the hyphen. The term "Hesperus-Vesper" referring to the Evening-Morning Star is the best example I can think of. The term I'm looking for is not the act of coining the term either, but the 'type' of term.

[Orthodox]

It's a fairly uncommon technical linguistic term. I know I've seen it before, but I just can't recall it.

Sorry, I just don't understand the Hesperus-Vesper example. Can you think of another for us?

[Orthodox]

I've just realised I mean "Hesperus-Phosphorous", not that it matters too much.

[factor-fiction]

Does this help then?

Would Mars-Ares serve as another example?

[Orthodox]

Yes, like what Frege was referring to in a way. ie, that a man, say John, may be someone's brother and someone's son: so you could say John, the brother-son. But I'm looking for the technical term of this term. And it's not in the Frege article.

Or Oedipus, son-lover of Jocasta?

[Orthodox]

I guess "sofa-bed" would be an example too. The sofa-bed is one thing, but can have the different 'senses' or uses of being a sofa and a bed, although it is only one item in itself.

[Orthodox]

son-lover would be an example too I think, yes.

[Ellipsis]

Pleonasm?

[Orthodox]

Ahh found it - appositional compound..! thanks anyway (-: I don't think I was explaning myself particularly well!

[sandyRoe]

Thank you. If I ever need to use an appositional compound I'll think of this question.

[heathfield]

Hmm. I think you may have a head start, Sandy, since you're neither 'sandy' nor 'roe' in the strictly literal sense! Or would that be an exocentric compound rather than an appositional one? Orthodox?
