Morphology

travel-soiled = travel + soiled (transparent) = travel + soil + ed

Formed by a clear compound of 'travel' + 'soiled' (soiled = soil + -ed), so the meaning 'dirty as a result of travel' is directly inferable.

Etymology

Travel-soiled comes from joining travel ('journey') and soiled ('dirty' or 'stained'), so it gives a clear picture of things made dirty by a trip. That's why travel-soiled means clothes or items that are dirty as a result of travel.
