OLD WORDS, NEW WORD

How many times have you believe you didn't get the meaning of a word, and then on the following minute you discovered that you just hadn't paid enough attention to it?

Many words are compound nous, like pancake for example (pan + cake). Take a look at the following exercise and see how've been in contact with it for a while without even noticing it.
