The Chinese word 橙汁 (chéngzhī), meaning "orange juice", is formed through a straightforward and common compound word structure in Mandarin. It combines the character 橙 (chéng), which means "orange" (the fruit), with the character 汁 (zhī), which means "juice" or "liquid". The first character acts as a modifier, specifying the type, while the second character is the core noun being described. This creates a clear and logical "modifier + head noun" (or "attribute + center word") construction, directly translating to "orange's juice", which is semantically transparent and instantly understood by speakers.
