Morphology

poop + oneself

The parts 'poop' (to defecate) plus the reflexive 'oneself' make the literal meaning — to defecate on oneself — readily inferable to a learner who knows the words. However, the typical pragmatic nuance (that it is usually involuntary, often occurs in clothing, and is linked to extreme fear/shock/excitement) and its informal/vulgar register are not fully predictable from the constituents alone.

Etymology

Poop oneself gives a plain, literal image: someone is so scared or shocked that they actually poop and soil oneself in their clothes. That's why it means 'to poop in your clothes' because of very strong fear or shock.
