Yes, the word understand is a compound work made up of 'under' and stand'.

In this case, under refers to underlying meaning and stand refers to seeing so understand is "to comprehend what one sees" (from Old English standan and understandan).

No, the word "understand" is not a compound word. It is a single word made up of the prefix "under-" and the root word "stand."
