Morphology

glamazonian + figure

The form 'glamazonian' is a slang blend of 'glam(orous)' + 'Amazonian', so combined with 'figure' a learner can partially infer a meaning like 'a tall, glamorous body shape' if they recognise those components. However, because it is a creative, culture-bound blend and 'Amazonian' as a source of meaning (tall/striking) may not be known to B1 learners, the exact sense is not fully predictable from the parts.

Etymology

Glamazonian figure comes from mixing glamour and Amazon. Think of a tall, strong woman from old stories who also looks very stylish, and you have the image behind the words, so glamazonian figure means 'tall and glamorous'.
