Morphology
The meaning is directly built from 'butt' (buttocks) + 'pack' (a pouch or small bag), so a B1 learner who knows both words can infer it refers to a pouch worn at the back/over the buttocks. While somewhat informal/slang, the noun+noun location composition is transparent and cross-linguistically accessible.
Etymology
Butt pack gets its name from the simple picture of a small pack that sits against the wearer's butt at the low waist. Because the pouch rests on your backside, the name stuck for a small waist bag people use to carry items 'hands-free'.
