Morphology
The meaning 'slightly unclear or vague' is directly and compositionally built from 'bit' (a small amount) modifying 'blurry' (lacking clarity). The pattern 'a bit + adjective' is a common degree construction in English and is cross-linguistically frequent, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
The phrase bit blurry comes from the simple image of a picture that is a little out of focus. The word bit means 'a little' and blurry means 'not clear', so the phrase describes something that is 'a little unclear' in sight, memory, or meaning.
