Morphology
pinkoid + clothing
The meaning is compositionally predictable: 'pinkoid' can be analysed as 'pink' + the suffix '-oid' meaning 'resembling' or 'pinkish', and it modifies 'clothing' in the usual adjective + noun pattern. Even though 'pinkoid' is rare or non-dictionary, the morphological formation is regular and a learner who knows the constituent morphemes would infer 'clothing that is pink or pinkish'.
Etymology
Pinkoid clothing comes from the color pink plus the small ending -oid, which gives the idea 'like' or 'similar to'. So it creates a simple picture of clothes that are pink or have pinkish tones, and that is why it means 'clothing that is pink' today.
