Morphology
The words 'afternoon' + 'delight' transparently signal a pleasurable event occurring in the afternoon, so a B1 learner would likely infer some enjoyable or pleasant afternoon occurrence. However, the specific slang sense 'a brief sexual encounter' is an idiomatic, euphemistic extension that is culturally marked and not directly predictable from the constituents, making the expression only partially transparent.
Etymology
Afternoon delight in slang paints a similar picture of the afternoon as a time for a quick delight, so it came to mean 'a brief sexual encounter'.
