Morphology
spank + it
The literal parts 'spank' (to hit/slap) and 'it' (a pronoun) do not compositionally yield the meaning 'to masturbate'; this is a slang euphemism whose sexual sense is idiomatic and culture-specific. A B1 learner who knows the constituents but has not been exposed to the slang sense would not reliably infer this meaning, so the expression is opaque.
Etymology
Spank it is a slang, rude phrase that uses the image of quick hand movements like a light hit. Because spank means to hit, people used that image for self-touch, so the phrase now means 'to masturbate'.
