Ten words below have each been broken into two shorter words, as RESTORATION might be broken into REST and ORATION. The first half of each word appears in the left-hand column in random order and its second half is in the right-hand column. Can you restore the original ten words?

NOTE: This puzzle can be made more challenging by mixing up the words between both columns.
