Morphology
glory + hole
The sexual, slang meaning of 'glory hole' (an opening used for anonymous sexual activity) cannot be derived from the literal senses of 'glory' (praise, honor) and 'hole' (an opening). This is a culture-specific, idiomatic euphemism whose meaning is not predictable from its parts, so a B1 learner who knows the constituent words would not be able to infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
One popular story says the phrase glory hole was later used for a hole cut in a wall where people made 'anonymous sexual contact' from opposite sides; the idea of a secret, hidden opening is why the term also has that sexual meaning today.
