Morphology
The compound is compositionally transparent: 'bunny' (rabbit/bunny-costume) modifies 'girl' to mean a female character associated with a bunny costume, so a learner who knows both words can infer a girl dressed/portrayed as a bunny. While some cultural nuances (anime/cosplay/fanservice connotations) may not be fully predictable, the basic referent is directly derivable from the constituents.
Etymology
Bunny girl comes from the Playboy Clubs of the 1960s, where waitresses wore a showy outfit with rabbit ears and a fluffy tail as part of their uniform. Because these women worked and entertained in that outfit, the phrase came to mean 'a young woman who works as a waitress or entertainer wearing a rabbit-style costume'.
