The Chinese term **重金属 (zhòng jīnshǔ)**, meaning "heavy metal," is a straightforward **modifier-head compound noun** formed through semantic combination. It consists of the adjective **重 (zhòng)**, meaning "heavy," which modifies the head noun **金属 (jīnshǔ)**, meaning "metal." This creates an endocentric structure where the core meaning ("metal") is specified by its preceding attribute ("heavy"), directly paralleling the English equivalent's grammatical and logical construction.
