Morphology
The meaning 'complete dedication' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'full' (completely) with 'commitment' (dedication or promise). This simple adjective + noun compositional pattern is common and cross-linguistically regular, so a B1 learner who knows both words can readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Full commitment paints a simple picture: full means 'all' and commitment is a promise to stick with something. So it means giving all your time and effort and being fully responsible for the task.
