Morphology
The phrase is a straightforward adjective + noun composition: 'sexual' (pertaining to sex) modifies 'arousal' (a state of excitement or stimulation), so the overall meaning—excitement caused by sexual stimulation—is directly derivable from the parts. This compositional pattern is common cross-linguistically and unambiguous, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will understand the MWE.
Etymology
The term sexual arousal comes from the verb arouse and the noun arousal, both originally meaning 'to wake up' or 'to excite'. Think of sexual feelings 'waking up' the body and mind, so sexual arousal means the body and mind become excited by sexual touch, thought, or desire.
