Morphology
The sense 'to stop using or wearing' is directly inferable from combining 'leave' (to cause something to be in a state) with 'off' (indicating removal or cessation). This verb+particle composition parallels transparent patterns like 'take off' and 'leave off' in context, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will likely understand the intended meaning.
Etymology
Leave off can mean to leave something out, like not writing an item on a list. Imagine leaving a name off the guest list; if you leave off something, you 'omit' it from the group.
