Morphology

coke + dick

Knowing 'coke' (cocaine) and 'dick' (penis) allows a B1 learner to infer that the phrase refers to a penis-related effect of cocaine, so the basic idea is recoverable from the parts. However, the exact clinical sense (temporary erectile dysfunction) and its slangy, crude register are not fully predictable without exposure, so it is only partially transparent to learners.

Etymology

The slang coke dick joins coke, the drug cocaine, and dick, a slang word for the penis; the image is of the drug making the penis fail to work, so the phrase means 'temporary inability to get an erection'.
