There will be some grey areas at the edges where native speakers might disagree (firetruck or fire truck, thankyou or thank you), but mostly there won't be any contention. Whether or not it is one word, it cannot be one word in English. That's fine, because when you say 亲和力 you are speaking in Chinese. 1 Quote
