See http://www.class.uidaho.edu/Engl201/sentence_types/Two-word_verbs.htm

It is a pair of words (one of which is often a verb and then other a preposition) which together represent a type of activity that could be represented by a different single word.

Example: The marriage broke up.

If you click on the letter B and then scroll down, you'll find the one that DrWLS referred to above.
