Morphology
life + of + a + jet-setter
The phrase signals 'life' plus a person described by 'jet-setter', and the parts 'jet' (air travel) and the idea of a social 'set' make it plausible for learners to infer frequent, glamorous travel. However, 'jet-setter' is a lexicalized, culture-bound term with connotations of wealth and fashion that are not fully predictable from the parts, so full understanding often requires prior exposure.
Etymology
Life of a jet-setter comes from the image of rich people flying by fast jet planes to parties and holiday spots in different countries. So, it means 'a life of frequent travel for pleasure to fashionable or exotic places'.
