Morphology
The literal meanings of 'douche' (a cleansing device) and 'bag' (a container) do not combine to produce the sense 'rude/selfish person'; the phrase is an informal, derogatory slang term whose insulting meaning is idiomatic. This pragmatic/pejorative sense is culturally marked and unpredictable from the parts, so a B1 learner who only knows the constituents would not reliably infer the intended meaning without prior exposure.
Etymology
Douche bag One popular story says the insult comes from the same medical image: the idea of a crude washing douche and bag felt rude and unpleasant, so people began using the phrase to call someone 'rude' or 'disgusting'.
