Morphology
underboob + top
The phrase is compositionally built from 'under' (beneath) + 'boob' (breast) and 'top' (a garment), so a learner who knows the constituent meanings can infer it denotes a garment that shows the underside of the breasts. Although 'underboob' is informal/slang, the compound logic is transparent and readily interpretable cross-linguistically when the parts are known.
Etymology
The phrase underboob top is very literal: underboob means the lower part of the breast and top means a short shirt or bikini top. So the expression refers to a style of clothing that intentionally shows that lower part, which is why it means 'a top that shows the lower part of the breasts'.
