Morphology

dirty-minded = dirty + minded (semi-transparent) = dirty + mind + ed

The word is built from clear components, but the lewd or sexual-innuendo sense is a figurative extension rather than a fully literal combination.

Etymology

Dirty-minded combines dirty ('not clean' or 'sexually rude') and -minded (from 'mind', a person's way of thinking). So, a dirty-minded person is someone whose thoughts often go to sex or who sees sexual meaning in innocent things.
