Morphology

male + enhancement + pill

The phrase is largely compositional—combining 'male' + 'enhancement' + 'pill' signals a pill intended to improve something about males, so learners will infer a pill that produces some kind of improvement. However, the conventionalized, primarily sexual meaning (improving sexual performance) is a pragmatic narrowing that is not fully predictable from the literal constituents without cultural/market knowledge, so it is only partially transparent to a B1 learner.

Etymology

Male enhancement pill gives a simple picture: male means a man, enhancement means making something better, and pill is a small tablet. So it means a tablet sold to 'improve' a man's 'sexual performance'.
