Morphology
retox + party
The noun 'party' is transparent, but the key constituent 'retox' is not attested in the provided dictionary entry and is a coined formation (re- + tox/detox). Its meaning ('indulge again' after detox) can be inferred only if a learner recognises the prefix re- and the relation to 'detox', which many B1 learners will not reliably do, so the compound is partially predictable but not fully transparent.
Etymology
The phrase retox party comes from putting re- 'again' before detox 'a time of cleaning the body'. After a strict detox people may eat and drink what they avoided, so a retox party is a celebration where people go back to rich food and drinks.
