Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'every' (each) + 'bit' (small piece/amount) + 'of' yields 'each part/ the whole of' and this inference is straightforward for learners who know the words. This quantifier+noun+preposition pattern is common across languages, so a B1 learner who knows the constituents will comprehend the phrase without prior exposure.
Etymology
Every bit of comes from the simple picture of something made of many small pieces: if you take every bit, you have all the parts. That's why it means 'the whole of' something.
