Morphology
The meaning 'a sudden, brief sensation of intense heat' is directly and compositionally derived from 'hot' (having elevated temperature) plus 'flash' (a sudden brief burst). The construction maps straightforwardly onto the constituents and is cross-linguistically plausible, so a B1 learner who knows both words would readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
The noun hot flash comes from the simple image of a quick burst of heat: hot shows the strong warmth and flash suggests something sudden and bright, like a short light. That's why hot flash means 'a sudden, brief feeling of intense heat', often during 'menopause' or as a side effect of some medicines.
