Morphology
The meaning 'a skin irritation in the area covered by a diaper' is directly and compositionally derived from 'diaper' (the garment covering the baby's lower body) plus 'rash' (a skin irritation). This is a straightforward, cross-linguistically common compound where knowing both constituents lets a B1 learner infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
The term diaper rash comes from a simple picture: a wet or dirty diaper rubbing on a baby's skin causes a red, sore rash. So the phrase means 'skin irritation' caused by wearing a diaper.
