Morphology
underboob + cut
Although 'underboob' is listed as not found in the dictionary and is slang, its internal structure (under + boob) and the noun 'cut' meaning the tailoring shape make the overall sense directly derivable: a garment cut that reveals the lower part of the breasts. This is a straightforward compositional pattern (compound + clothing cut) that a B1 learner who knows the constituent meanings could infer.
Etymology
Underboob cut comes from a simple image: a cut placed under the underboob, the 'lower part of the breasts', so the clothing shows that area. That's why it now means a 'revealing' style that exposes that part of the body.
