Morphology
booty + chaser
The compound is compositionally built from 'chaser' (one who pursues) and 'booty' (which can mean treasure or, in slang, sexual/physical attributes), so the form suggests 'one who pursues X'. However, the intended sexual sense depends on slang knowledge and register ambiguity of 'booty', which a B1 learner who only knows literal senses is unlikely to predict reliably.
Etymology
Booty chaser mixes the informal word booty for another person's body and chaser for someone who runs after something. Imagine someone running after 'booty' like a prize, and you get why it means 'someone who chases short, casual sexual relationships'.
