Morphology
The phrase is directly compositional: a learner who knows 'ginger' (a red‑haired person) and 'ninja' (a skilled/stealthy person) can infer it denotes a skilled or agile person with red hair. Although informal and slightly playful, the modifier+noun pattern and the metaphorical use of 'ninja' are straightforward and cross‑linguistically recognizable, so the meaning is readily deducible.
Etymology
Ginger ninja likely comes from joining ginger (someone with 'red hair') and ninja (a quiet, very fast fighter). The image of a red-haired person moving quickly and cleverly is why the phrase means 'an agile and skilled person with red hair'.
