lounging robe singular

Morphology

lounge + robe

The phrase is transparently compositional: 'lounging' (relaxing) modifies 'robe' (a garment), yielding a robe intended for relaxing. This adjective+noun combination follows regular, productive English patterns and would be inferable to a B1 learner who knows both constituents.

Etymology

Lounging robe comes from the words lounge ('to relax') and robe ('a loose garment'). The image is of a soft robe you wear at home while resting or 'before dressing', so it means a comfortable robe worn while relaxing.
