Morphology
The compound is directly compositional: 'erogenous' means sexually responsive and 'zone' means an area, so the phrase transparently denotes an area of the body that produces sexual arousal when stimulated. This is a straightforward adjective+noun combination that follows normal English composition patterns (and has clear equivalents in many languages), so a learner who knows both constituents should be able to infer the meaning.
Etymology
Erogenous zone names parts of the body that are extra sensitive to touch. Erogenous refers to sexual feeling and zone means an area, so these spots can wake up 'sexual arousal' when they are touched.
