Is it possible to find an element using multiple words using By.CLASS_NAME in selenium python?

I am working on a browser bot and have encountered a problem. Every documentation has an example where an element is found(by class_name) using only one string that represents a class. My problem is that I want to use more than one string(more than one word) to find a class(to be more specific). Here is what every example shows:

browser.find_element(By.CLASS_NAME, "text-orange-400")

And here is what I want to do:

browser.find_element(By.CLASS_NAME, "text-orange-400 transition hover:opacity-70")

Is it possible to do so?

I have tried using many torturous and outrageous ways that I have no intensions in listing in this post. So just help me pls.

No.
To locate element based on multiple class name values you should use CSS Selector or XPath.
CSS_Selector:

browser.find_element(By.CSS_SELECTOR, ".text-orange-400.transition.hover:opacity-70")

XPath

browser.find_element(By.XPATH, "//*[@class='text-orange-400 transition hover:opacity-70']")
