It's a compound word, usually written as a single word (yeah, you owned me). Compound words can be written as single words, hyphenated words, or separate words.
Note that this actually falls under the heading of spelling. Spelling and grammar are two different things. Nobody needs to hire anyone to check spelling since spell checkers can easily do this.
