According to Kalpadruma, कन्यादानं  [क्ली, (कन्याया दानं वराय सम्प्रदानम् । ) वराय कन्यासम्प्रदानम्] , is a single word meaning  giving in marriage.

Separately,  दानं  [दा-ल्युट्] means Gift, giving, donation, imparting, giving in marriage,  giving away (a daughter), etc.

आदानं [आदान-न० आ + दा—भावे ल्युट् । ग्रहणे; आङ् reversing the sense, and दा to give,  ]  means taking, seizing, receiving, accepting, 

So कन्यादानं  as a single unit is more apt. I am subject to correction.
