Morphology
cut + in
The vehicle sense is partially derivable: 'in' signals movement into space and 'cut' can be metaphorically extended to mean a sharp intrusion, so a learner might guess an insertion into another lane. However, the specific traffic-related consequence (leaving too little space) and the conventionalized abruptness of the maneuver are not fully predictable from the literal words, so prior exposure is typically needed.
Etymology
Cut in comes from the picture of cutting a pie and giving someone a slice of it, so it means 'to give someone a share' of profits or benefits.
