Morphology
smexy + wink
The headword 'smexy' is a nonstandard slang blend (apparently of 'smart' + 'sexy' or similar) and is not listed in the dictionary, so its meaning is not fully predictable to a B1 learner; however the element 'sexy' is partly recoverable and 'wink' is literal. Because the wink component is transparent but the coined adjective is only partially guessable and relies on slang knowledge, the overall phrase is only partially transparent to learners.
Etymology
The phrase smexy wink comes from mixing the word smexy, a playful mix of 'smart' and 'sexy', with wink. Because it joins being clever and being sexy with a small eye gesture, it means 'a flirtatious or playfully sexy wink'.
