The word **果仁** is a compound noun formed through semantic combination, where **果** (guǒ, meaning "fruit" or "nut") acts as a modifier to specify the type of **仁** (rén, meaning "kernel," "seed," or "edible core"). Literally, it means "fruit/nut kernel," and it functions as a head-final structure common in Chinese: the general category **仁** (kernel) is specified by **果** (from a fruit or nut), creating the specific meaning of an edible seed or nutmeat, such as those found in peanuts, walnuts, or almonds.
