Morphology
Although the words 'kiss' and 'ass' describe a literal physical action and body part, the phrase is used idiomatically as a rude dismissal or challenge, a meaning that cannot be derived from the literal components. This conventionalized vulgar insult is unpredictable for a B1 learner who knows the parts but has not encountered the expression in context, so it is opaque.
Etymology
Kiss my ass is a rude order that may come from the idea of forcing someone to kiss another person's ass, a very insulting act. That's why people use it today to show strong anger or to say 'I don't care' or 'go away'.
