The Chinese word **柠檬汁** (níngméngzhī), meaning "lemon juice," is a straightforward compound noun formed through semantic combination. It consists of two parts: **柠檬** (níngméng), which is the loanword-transliteration for "lemon" (from the English "lemon"), and **汁** (zhī), the native Chinese morpheme meaning "juice." Structurally, it follows the common modifier-head pattern in Chinese, where **柠檬** acts as the modifier specifying the type, and **汁** serves as the head noun indicating the substance. Thus, the compound logically and grammatically denotes "the juice of a lemon."
