Morphology

sexpot = sex + pot (semi-transparent) = sex + pot

The components 'sex' and 'pot' are recognisable, but the non-literal metaphorical use of 'pot' to indicate a person full of sexual appeal is not a straightforward, predictable meaning for learners.

Etymology

Sexpot comes from joining sex ('sexual') and pot (used like a 'container' or 'source'). So a sexpot is thought of as someone who 'contains' or is a clear 'source' of sexual attraction, which explains its modern meaning.
