Morphology
pornado + of + traffic
The headword 'pornado' is a creative/nonce blend not listed in the provided word definitions, so a B1 learner who only knows 'traffic' and basic function words will not be able to recover the intended sense. The metaphorical/coinage nature (likely combining 'porn' + 'tornado' or similar) makes the overall meaning unpredictable from the given constituents, so it is effectively idiomatic and opaque to learners without prior exposure.
Etymology
Pornado of traffic comes from mixing porn and tornado, creating a strong image of a fast, wild storm of people rushing to a website after shocking or viral content appears. So, it means 'a sudden flood of website visitors'.
