Morphology
The expression is largely compositionally interpretable — 'shove' (push) + 'up your ass' (into someone's butt) gives a crude, literal image that a B1 learner who knows the words can understand. However its common use is a pragmatic, idiomatic insult meaning strong rejection or dismissal ('screw you'/'get lost'), which is a conversational extension not fully predictable from the literal components, so it is only partially transparent.
Etymology
Shove it up your ass comes from a rude, literal image: telling someone to shove something up their ass as an angry insult. That's why people use it today to strongly and rudely 'reject' someone or tell them to 'go away'.
