Morphology
The phrase is a straightforward composition: 'outlook' (general attitude) + 'on' (preposition indicating target) + 'life' (the domain), so the overall meaning 'attitude toward life' is directly derivable from the parts. This locative/targeting pattern is common across languages, so a B1 learner who knows the constituents will readily understand it.
Etymology
Outlook on life comes from the image of someone looking out of a window at the world, where the outlook or view can change how they think and feel about life. So, outlook on life means a person's general way of thinking or feeling about 'life'.
