Morphology
The component 'squeeze ... out' is transparently compositional (to force or expel something), so a learner who knows 'squeeze' and 'out' can infer the general idea of forcing one thing out. However, using 'one' as a euphemistic reference to feces is colloquial and not directly predictable from the words alone, so the specific sense 'to defecate' requires idiomatic/slang knowledge.
Etymology
The informal phrase squeeze one out comes from the image of using your stomach and muscles to squeeze a small bit of poop, one, out of the body. That's why it means 'to have a bowel movement'.
