Morphology
The meaning 'to ask someone to join you for a social activity' is directly derivable from combining 'invite' (to request someone's attendance) with 'out' (indicating going out or a social outing). This is a common, transparent phrasal-verb construction (invite + out = invite to go out) and would be understandable to a B1 learner who knows both constituents.
Etymology
Invite out comes from the simple picture of asking someone to leave their home and go out with you, for example to dinner or a movie. So, because you are asking them to go out together, invite out means 'to ask someone to join you for a social activity' or a 'date'.
