Kernel
Definition:
(n.) The essential part of a seed; all that is within the seed walls; the edible substance contained in the shell of a nut; hence, anything included in a shell, husk, or integument; as, the kernel of a nut. See Illust. of Endocarp.

(n.) The central, substantial or essential part of anything; the gist; the core; as, the kernel of an argument.
(v. i.) To harden or ripen into kernels; to produce kernels.
