Morphology

loony + toon

The slang meaning 'LSD' cannot be derived from the literal constituents: 'loony' (crazy) + 'toon(s)' (cartoon character). A B1 learner who knows those words would likely interpret it as 'crazy cartoons' or a pun on the brand name 'Looney Tunes', not as a hallucinogenic drug; the sense is slangy and idiomatic, making it unpredictable from the parts.

Etymology

Loony toons may come from the old cartoon title 'Looney Tunes' mixed with the words loony and toons; people used this playful phrase because the drug 'LSD' can make someone see bright, strange, cartoon-like images. So the name stuck as a slang word for 'LSD'.
