Morphology
The meaning 'the amount of a medicine taken each day' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'daily' (occurring each day) with 'dose' (a measured amount of medicine). This adjectival + noun composition follows a regular, cross-linguistic pattern, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Daily dose comes from the simple image of a measured dose you take daily, like one pill or a small glass of medicine each day. So it now means 'the amount of a medicine or substance taken each day'.
