Morphology
art + of + rizzology
The framing 'art of X' is transparently interpretable as 'the skill or practice of X', so the construction signals skill clearly. However, 'rizzology' is a nonstandard slang coinage built from 'rizz' (slang for charm) + '-ology'; because 'rizz' and this nonce formation are not predictable or widely known to B1 learners, the overall expression is only partially inferable.
Etymology
Art of rizzology joins art, the idea of a skill, with the slang rizz, meaning 'charm' or smooth talk, and the ending -ology, which makes words sound like a 'study'. This makes a funny image of someone who has learned how to be charming, so people use it to mean the skill of showing 'charm' in dating.
