Morphology

accroides + resin

This is a straightforward noun-noun compositional phrase where the second noun 'resin' names the category and 'accroides' specifies the type. If a B1 learner knows 'accroides' (a particular kind of resin) and 'resin' (a sticky substance), the meaning 'a specific type of resin used in varnishes and paper' is directly derivable and follows common English naming patterns.

Etymology

Accroides resin combines accroides (the tree source) and resin (the sticky sap), so imagine sticky sap that hardens into a shiny material. Because this hardened sap can be dissolved in alcohol and gives a shiny finish, it is used 'to make varnishes' and 'in paper'.
