Morphology
chickification + of + content
The meaning can be partly inferred from the parts: 'chick' (informal/slang for a woman) + the suffix '-ification' (the process of making) + 'content', so a learner can guess it means making content aimed at women. However, the headword is a creative, derived coinage using slang and a derivational suffix that many B1 learners may not recognize, so the exact nuance and acceptability are not fully predictable without exposure.
Etymology
The phrase chickification of content comes from the word chick, an informal word for a young woman, and the ending -ification which means 'making into'. Think of adding pink covers, romantic plots, or softer language to make something feel aimed at women, so the phrase means 'making content especially to appeal to women'.
