Morphology

bring + out + in + a + rash

The meaning 'to cause someone to develop a rash' is directly derivable from the parts: 'bring' (to produce/cause), plus the particle 'out' (to cause to appear), with 'in a rash' specifying the form of that appearance. This causative + result construction is a standard, compositional English pattern and is likely inferable by a B1 learner who knows the constituent words.

Etymology

Bring out in a rash paints a simple picture: something brings out red bumps on the skin called a rash, so it means 'to cause someone to get a rash'.
