Morphology
The phrase 'fat content' is directly and transparently derived from 'fat' (the substance) and 'content' (the proportion or amount present), so a B1 learner who knows both words can infer it means the amount/percentage of fat. This is a regular noun–noun compositional pattern found across languages and in food-label vocabulary, making the meaning immediately understandable.
Etymology
The noun fat content comes from a simple idea: the word content means what is inside, so fat content is how much fat is inside a food. That's why labels use it to show the 'amount' of fat.
