Morphology
porcelain + goddess
The components give partial clues: 'porcelain' can evoke ceramic fixtures (toilets) and 'goddess' signals personification or praise, so a learner might infer a figurative, delicate or personified porcelain object or woman. However, the specific euphemistic use for a toilet or for vomiting into it is culturally colloquial and not directly derivable from the parts alone, so prior exposure is usually needed to get the intended meaning.
Etymology
Porcelain goddess comes from the two images in its words: porcelain (fine white china, which can look like a shiny toilet bowl) and goddess (someone you 'worship'). So, one meaning is a toilet people 'worship' when they have to 'throw up', and another meaning is a woman who seems very delicate and beautiful, like fine china.
