Andrew, you particularly might enjoy the last pic on this page:<br>

Why would anteojo (which is nearly always plural)'s coming from Latin
mean it wasn't an example of a Prep + Obj structure in Spanish? Ante is
still a preposition, though a bit of an archaic one, in Spanish. I
suppose the same would go for antepuerta, antesala, antetemplo, and the
other cases of ante? But in any case, as I noted in another post, there
are plenty of other clear cases of Prep + Obj = Subj structures in
Spanish: sinvergüenza, sinfin, parabién(es), sobrepuerta, sobrerropa,
and many others. We have them in English, too: upstairs, outdoors,
undershirt (if it means "what you wear under your shirt") or overcoat
(if it means "what you wear over your coat"), afternoon, etc.<br>

Best,<br>

There are probably others.

Indeed there are. I've been interested in these for some time and have
been collecting them. So far I have 105 listed on the English
Wiktionary here:

My particular favourite is "chupacabras".

<pre wrap="">AFAIK, there are no such compounds where the
left-hand member is unambiguously a preposition. So on the assumption
that this is a uniform construction, my etymology (and synchronic
analysis, to the extent that these are productive and transparent) was
wrong.

I was going to suggest "anteojo" but the RAE informs me that it came
from Latin so
the left-hand member was unambiguosly a Latin preposition - not quite the same
thing though still interesting.
