Describes something with glue already on the back, so you can just press it onto a surface and it stays: stick-on labels, stick-on stars for a child's ceiling, stick-on hooks, stick-on nails. The point of the word is that you do not need any glue or tools of your own — the sticky part comes with it.

It goes in front of a noun and stays there: you say 'a stick-on label', but you would not say 'this label is stick-on' in careful writing, though people do say it casually.
It goes in front of a noun and stays there它會放在名詞前面,而且只會放在那裡:you say 'a stick-on label'你會說'a stick-on label',but you would not say 'this label is stick-on' in careful writing但正式書寫不會說'this label is stick-on',though people do say it casually不過口語上人們確實會這樣講。
It often carries a small hint of 'the easy, temporary version of the real thing' — stick-on tiles are not real tiles, a stick-on tattoo washes off, a stick-on is for a party. That is not always so, but it is worth hearing.

組成The verb 'stick' plus the small word 'on', frozen together with a hyphen and used as an adjective. English does this constantly: you take the two words of a phrasal verb, hyphenate them, and put them in front of a noun — a take-away meal, a built-in wardrobe, a run-down house.
