Morphology

pig-sized = pig (transparent) = pig + sized

The adjective is formed by adding the productive suffix '-sized' to the noun 'pig', so its meaning 'approximately the size of a pig' is directly inferable.

Etymology

Pig-sized joins pig and sized and literally means 'about the size of a pig'. Picture putting a pig next to an object to judge how big it is; that's why pig-sized describes something roughly as big as a pig.
