Morphology
jump + out
The meaning 'to be immediately noticeable' follows directly from combining 'jump' (sudden, attention-grabbing movement) with the particle 'out' (emergence or outward direction), yielding a compositional sense similar to 'stand out'. This is a common, cross-linguistically transparent image (something 'jumps out' at you), so a B1 learner who knows the constituents would very likely infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Jump out comes from the image of something that jumps suddenly out from a place, surprising you and catching your eye. So, when something 'jumps out' today it means it is very noticeable or 'stands out'.
