Morphology
The phrase is compositionally built from 'front' (the forward side) and 'butt' (the buttocks), so a learner who knows both words can infer it denotes a butt-like area at the front of the body (lower abdomen/mons pubis). Despite being slang and somewhat novel, the meaning follows straightforward noun–noun compounding and is directly derivable from the constituents.
Etymology
Front butt comes from a playful image: the lower belly can push out and look like a small butt at the front of the body, so people use front butt to mean 'the lower front part of the belly'.
