Morphology
The meaning 'the edible seed of a pumpkin' is directly and compositionally derived from 'pumpkin' (the fruit) + 'seed' (a plant part), so a B1 learner who knows both words will predict the referent. This simple noun+noun compound follows common cross-linguistic and English compounding patterns and is immediately comprehensible without prior exposure.
Etymology
Pumpkin seed is a simple name from the real seed found inside a pumpkin; people often roast these seeds and eat them as a crunchy 'snack' or use them in cooking. That's why the term means 'the edible seed of a pumpkin' and is used for seeds you can eat or add to recipes.
