Morphology
The meaning 'completely; to the full amount or extent' is directly derivable from combining 'in' (within/inside) with 'full' (completely), yielding a straightforward compositional meaning. This follows standard adverbial/prepositional composition found across languages, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand the phrase.
Etymology
The phrase in full comes from the simple image of a container or page that is full, meaning it is filled and not missing anything. So when you pay a bill in full or watch a show in full, you get the whole thing, 'completely'.
