Morphology
Both constituents directly contribute to the overall meaning: 'blazon' means to show or announce very prominently and 'out' adds a sense of public exposure, so the combined sense 'proclaim publicly and conspicuously' is predictable. This verb+particle composition follows common English patterns, so a B1 learner who knows the two words would readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Blazon out comes from the old idea of putting a bright shield or banner where everyone could see it. Because blazon meant to show something proudly and out means everywhere, the phrase came to mean 'to announce something publicly'.
