A clarinym is a term, whose basic meaning and etymology are self-apparent, such as "Greenland," "New Mexico," and "keyboard." Clarinyms are most often compound words, composed of at least two morphemes that make the definition of the term self-evident (e.g. "waterfall" is water falling; "clarinym" is a clear name).

Etymology
The word is derived from the Latin claro (from clarus "clear, bright, renowned, famous, illustrious") and the Latin onyma (from onoma "name").

Qualifications
A term is a clarinym if:
 * The term consists of at least two morphemes.
 * The morphemes define the fundamental traits of the term when compounded.

A clarinymic term is composed of free morphemes that represent the meaning of the word as a whole. For example, the morphemes "water" and "fall" can be compounded to create the word "waterfall," literally representing water falling.

Due to the holistic view of names given to concepts and things, the self-evident quality of a clarinym is often hidden in plain sight, such as the term Broadway, which is more metonymously associated with live theater than with the actual wide street itself.

Examples of clarinyms

 * Grasshopper
 * Waterfall
 * Rice cooker
 * Broadway
 * Clothesline
