Morphology

rizzonomics + 101

The phrase combines a slang base ('rizz' meaning dating charisma) with the productive suffix '-onomics' (study/field) and '101' (introductory course). While '-onomics' and '101' cue a humorous ‘study of X’ construction, the core item 'rizz' is novel/slang and not predictable to typical learners, so the overall meaning is only partially inferable even if some constituents are known.

Etymology

Rizzonomics 101 joins rizz, a short word for charm, with 101, the number used for an easy beginner 'class'. Imagine a simple classroom where someone teaches how to flirt, so the phrase means 'the basics of dating or flirting'.
