Morphology

get + into + one's + pant

The literal parts ('get' + 'into' + 'pants') suggest physical entry into clothing, so there is a visible metaphorical link to sexual activity, but the expression is a colloquial/vulgar euphemism whose intended meaning (to have sexual intercourse) is not strictly predictable from the constituents. Because the mapping from literal motion into clothing to sexual intent is culturally specific and idiomatic, a B1 learner who knows the words would likely need prior exposure to infer the vulgar sense reliably.

Etymology

The idiom get into one's pants comes from a clear, physical image: someone trying to get into another person's pants, literally getting under their clothes to be close. So, today it means 'to have sex' with someone.
