Although composed of the words 'blow' and 'job', the slang meaning 'oral stimulation of a man's penis' is idiomatic and not derivable from their ordinary senses for an average learner.

Etymology

The word blowjob is a slang compound of blow, which here means 'to use the mouth', and job, meaning 'task' or 'work', so it originally meant a 'task of blowing' and is used to refer to oral stimulation of a man's penis.
