Exactly. Sorry for the level of detail for the non-spanish speakers, but I was on mobile. Such "onewordness" is not universal, though, it's just usage (as you could see "goal keeper" evolving into "goal-keeper" and then just "goalkeeper") For example, if you insist on requesting "Dímelo", you might say, "¿Me lo dices?", which, by jumping from exhortation to questioning, splits the word. And in general, although "decirse" and "decirlo" might be treated as infinitive, the verb is actually "decir", and no dictionary will treat them as separate verbs.
