Morphology
The meaning 'a jacket for wearing at home while relaxing' is directly derivable from combining 'lounge' (to relax) with 'jacket' — the participial form 'lounging' simply specifies the jacket's typical use. This is a regular attributive/compounding pattern common across languages, so a B1 learner who knows both constituent words should be able to infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
The noun lounging jacket comes from the idea of lounging, meaning 'relaxing at home', and the word jacket for a soft garment worn indoors. So, it refers to a soft, comfortable jacket for wearing at home, often with a tie belt like a 'dressing gown'.
