There are two syllables in the word "puppet."
No. It is not a compound word. Puppet can be used with other words to form compound nouns like "puppet show" or "puppet regime" but puppet itself is NOT a compound word. A compound word must be two words put together that form a new word/definition, but those words are somewhat related to the new definition, like "playground". "Pup" and "pet" have nothing to do with the definition of "puppet". Similar non-compound words would be "carpet" or "office". Just because you can find two words within a word, does NOT make it a compound word.
There are two syllables. Pup-pet.
The word "puppet" comes from the Middle English word "popet," which evolved from the Old French word "poupette," meaning a doll or puppet. It ultimately derives from the Latin word "pupa," which means doll or girl.
The puppeteer controlled the movements of the marionette using strings.
