Morphology
The meaning 'on all occasions, without exception' is transparently derived from combining 'every' (each), 'single' (individual/each one), and 'time' (occasion); 'single' functions as an intensifier reinforcing 'every'. This quantifier + adjective + noun composition is a common, cross-linguistic pattern and would be readily understood by a B1 learner who knows the constituent words.
Etymology
The phrase every single time paints a simple picture: imagine a row of clocks and each clock rings, every one, single and counted, at each time something happens. So it means 'each time', with no exceptions.
