citrus fruit segment; section of a citrus fruit
Refers to the individual juicy segments inside citrus fruits like oranges, grapefruits, and lemons. The word is usually written in kana.
I eat the mandarin orange segments one by one.
I'm not good at removing grapefruit segments.
Kanji form using 嚢 (sac/cyst); very rare and technical. It is usually written in kana.
Alternate kanji form with 瓤 (pulp/segment); even rarer. Included for recognition only.
The word is composed of じょう (瓤, meaning pulp or segment) and のう (嚢, meaning sac or cyst). The exact historical derivation is uncertain, but the kanji reflect the meaning of a sac-like segment of pulp.
