Answer:

True, Kenning is a double metaphor that is usually hyphenated.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Merriam Webster dictionary, Kenning is defined as a "metaphorical compound word or phrase that is used especially in Old English or Old Norse poetry". So, kenning can be roughly explained as those two-worded words that are metaphorically used to mean something else. Some examples of kenning are-

bookworm - someone who reads a lot,

four eyes - someone who wears glasses

fender bender- a car accident

first lady - the wife of the president etc. etc.
