Morphology

stinko = stink (semi-transparent) = stink + o

Derived from 'stink' with the colloquial agent/pejorative suffix '-o'; the noun sense 'a person extremely drunk' is an idiomatic extension and not entirely predictable from the base.

Etymology

Stinko as a name for a person likely comes from the word stink 'smell bad' with the slang '-o' ending, since heavy drinking can make someone smell or behave badly. So a stinko is a person who is extremely drunk.
