Morphology
The meaning 'to move quickly downward by leaping from a raised position' is directly and compositionally derived from 'jump' (to leap) + 'off' (away from a surface). This verb+particle motion pattern is common and cross-linguistically regular, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Jump off comes from the plain picture of someone standing on a wall or board and then jumping away: you jump and go off the surface. That's why it means 'to move quickly down from a high place'.
