I would take that or exponentiation because every element of the analogy is a common noun.

Level 4:

A compound word is a word that consists of two separate words which put together produce the compound word. Examples are paper/clip and lady/bug. What compound word means exactly the same as each of the words that make it up?

[Hint: 4 letters, then 3 letters]

________ __________

This doesn't fit in with your hint, but it's pretty close:

Fore/front

**Edit**

I just went through a list of over 2000 compound words and I can't seem to figure out what word you are talking about. What the hell is it? I'm probably going to feel daft when you say it.
