Best Answer

Peanut and butter--both of them are nouns. However, does peanut modify butter? There are nouns that are used as modifiers (door bell; bell of a door)

Butter is churned cream--the fat of milk--or milk. Is peanut butter a churned milk or fat of milk with peanuts?

The ingredient required to make peanut butter is just dry roasted peanuts. It does not require milk or milk fat. And so, peanut butter is not butter. Consequently, peanut does not modify (describe) butter in peanut butter. Thus, when combined, peanut and butter forms a new meaning; therefore, peanut butter is a compound word, an open compound word to be exact.
