Morphology

come-here = come + here (transparent) = come + here

The noun denotes the action/gesture of 'come' + 'here' (an invitation to approach), a direct and obvious compounding of the two words.

Etymology

The word come-here comes from the simple English parts come ('move toward') and here ('this place'). So a come-here is a look or hand signal that invites someone to come to you.
