Morphology
The meaning 'a cosmetic pencil used to darken or shape the eyebrows' is directly and compositionally derived from 'eyebrow' (the brow) + 'pencil' (a pointed stick for drawing), so a B1 learner who knows both words can infer its function. This is a straightforward noun–noun compound following common morphological patterns with clear cross‑linguistic equivalents, making it immediately comprehensible.
Etymology
Eyebrow pencil comes from a simple idea: a pencil used on the eyebrow to draw, fill in or shape the brow like a small drawing. That's why the term means 'to darken or shape the eyebrows'.
