A Compound Title is when the titles of parts of a larger work can be strung together to form a meaningful phrase. The Compound Title may also be used to set off a few related episodes of a series, levels of a game, or similar. Those titles would also be CrossReferencedTitles.

Compare EpisodeFinishesTheTitle, where the title of each episode is compounded, seperately, with the overall title of the work.
