Morphology

cock + sock

The meaning is directly compositional: 'cock' (penis) plus 'sock' (a small tubular garment or covering) yields a covering for the penis, so a learner who knows both constituent senses can readily infer the MWE. Although the phrase is slang/vulgar and 'sock' is more commonly used for feet, that register detail does not make the sense idiomatic—it's a straightforward, literal extension—so it is transparent.

Etymology

The compound noun cock sock combines cock, a slang word for the penis, and sock, a small fabric covering. So it literally names a small covering for the penis, which is why today it means 'a close-fitting covering worn for modesty, support, or as a joke'.
