The derived interest or dividends are added to the original principal amount, and the process continues over multiple periods, leading to an exponential increase in growth. It is often used in the context of compound interest or compound growth in finance. Compound can also mean combining several elements to create a whole; intensify or exacerbate an issue, problem, or situation.
