Morphology
The meaning 'the act of expelling air from the lungs' is directly and compositionally derived from 'breathe' (to draw in and expel air) plus the particle 'out' (away from the interior). This verb+particle gerund pattern is a common, literal construction in English (and in many other languages), so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand it.
Etymology
The phrase breathing out gives a clear image: breathing, using your lungs, and out, air leaving the body, like when you blow out a candle or sigh to relax. That's why it means 'pushing air out' and is used when people talk about calming down or letting go of stress.
