Morphology

lez + out

The first constituent 'lez' is not a standard lexical item and appears to be slang or a spelling variant (e.g. of 'laze' or a clipped form), so a B1 learner who only knows the literal meanings cannot reliably infer the intended sense. The particle 'out' only gives a general locative/continuative hint and does not make the overall meaning predictably compositional, so the expression is slangy and unpredictable for learners.

Etymology

The phrase lez out may come from shortening the older phrase laze out, where laze means to lie down and do nothing and out shows stepping away from work. Imagine flopping on a sofa and doing nothing, and you'll see why lez out today means 'to relax casually'.
