Morphology

kiddy + porn

The meaning is directly and compositionally derived from 'kiddy' (child) + 'porn' (pornographic material): together they denote pornographic material involving children. Although the term is informal and refers to illegal/taboo content, that does not reduce its literal transparency for learners who know the constituent words and the compound pattern.

Etymology

Kiddy porn is a slang name that joins kiddy, a casual word for 'children', and porn, short for 'pornography', to mean pictures or videos that show sexual harm to children. That's why today it refers to material that is 'illegal' and 'abusive'.
