Morphology

battery-acid = battery + acid (opaque) = battery + acid

Although formed from the words 'battery' + 'acid', the slang meaning referring to LSD is not predictable from the literal compound.

Etymology

The word battery-acid is slang for the drug LSD, which can cause strong hallucinations. A helpful way to remember it is to think of acid as 'a strong chemical' since LSD is often called 'acid', and battery as 'power' or 'a strong electric shock', so the name gives the image of a powerful, mind-changing liquid.
