Morphology

pinkish-lavender = pinkish + lavender (transparent) = pinkish + lavender

The compound is formed by combining 'pinkish' (pink + -ish) with 'lavender', meaning 'lavender with a pink tint', which is directly inferable from the components.

Etymology

The word pinkish-lavender mixes pink ('light red') and lavender ('pale purple' named after the flower), with -ish meaning 'a little like', so it describes a lavender color that is a little pink.
