I have found this:
compound classes (classes formed by inheritance and aggregation

I searched the standard and couldn't find anything occurrences of
"compound class". There is a section on "compound types" which includes

In a sense yes. To my understanding it would be a class that is composed of
other classes or derives from or is derived from.
