Morphology

bunghole = bung + hole (opaque) = bung + hole

Although the word is a real compound of 'bung' and 'hole', the slang sense 'anus' is a specialized metaphor that is not derivable by standard rules from the literal component meanings.

Etymology

Bunghole is a rude slang word for the anus. It comes from the parts bung ('stopper') and hole ('opening') — the same name used for the barrel hole — so people began using bunghole as a crude joke for the body's similar opening.
