Morphology
The meaning 'to leave a place' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'head' (to move in a direction) with 'out' (away from the interior). This motion verb + particle composition is a common, cross-linguistic pattern in English phrasal verbs, so an average B1 learner who knows both constituents can readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
The phrasal verb head out paints a simple picture: someone moves their head toward the door and goes out of a place. That's why it means 'to leave'.
