Morphology
The compound 'tummy tuck' is directly interpretable from 'tummy' (belly) + 'tuck' (to fold or draw in), so a learner who knows both words can infer it refers to making the abdomen tighter—i.e., a cosmetic procedure on the belly. While they might not infer all medical details (removal of excess skin/fat), the overall meaning of tightening/pulling in the tummy is transparent.
Etymology
Tummy tuck comes from tummy (a friendly word for the belly) and tuck (to fold or pull in). One clear image is of a doctor folding or pulling in extra skin like tucking cloth, so it now means 'a cosmetic operation to remove extra skin and fat and make the belly tighter'.
