-
They can split into hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions, and pure water has equal concentrations amounts of these.
-

-
And we have hydrogen ion gradients across that membrane.
-
That's telling us something about the concentration of hydrogen ions in the water.

Morphology
The compound is fully compositional: 'hydrogen' (the element) + 'ion' (a charged atom) yields the straightforward meaning 'a charged hydrogen atom/particle.' A B1 learner who knows both constituents can infer this basic sense even if they might not grasp the technical detail that it is specifically a single proton.
Etymology
Hydrogen ion is a simple picture: when a hydrogen atom loses its single electron, it is left as just a lone proton, so it becomes an ion. So a hydrogen ion is literally a single 'proton' and is 'positively charged', which is why their number matters when we talk about how acidic water or other liquids are.
