Morphology

workout + suit

The meaning 'a set of clothes worn for exercise' is directly and compositionally derived from 'workout' (an exercise session) modifying 'suit' (an outfit), forming a transparent noun+noun compound. There is no strong metaphorical or idiomatic shift and the construction matches common patterns in many languages, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents should be able to infer the meaning.

Etymology

Workout suit comes from the words workout and suit: a workout means 'exercise' and a suit is a matching set of clothes. So a workout suit is a comfortable matching set you wear when you exercise.
