Morphology

pixilated = pixil + ated

Although historically linked to 'pixie', the meaning 'very drunk' is a semantic shift and is not predictably derived by an average learner from the base morpheme.

Etymology

Pixilated comes from pixie, a small magical creature thought to play tricks on people, and the old idea that someone is 'touched' by a pixie. So being pixilated once meant being very drunk or acting foolish, as if bewitched.
