The Chinese word **浆果** (jiāngguǒ), meaning "berry," is a compound formed by combining two characters: **浆** (jiāng), which denotes a thick, pulpy liquid or paste, and **果** (guǒ), which means "fruit." The term is formed logically through semantic composition, where **浆** describes the characteristic juicy, pulpy interior of the fruit, and **果** categorizes it as a type of fruit. Thus, the word literally and descriptively means "pulp-fruit," directly referencing the soft, seed-filled texture that defines berries.
