Morphology

crow-sized = crow (transparent) = crow + sized

The adjective is formed by a clear and productive pattern noun + -sized meaning 'about the size of', which B1 learners can apply.

Etymology

Crow-sized joins crow, the common black bird you often see in parks, with -sized, which means 'having the size of'. So, crow-sized means 'about as big as a crow', an easy image to remember when you think of a small to medium bird.
