Morphology

time + of + life

The literal temporal sense — a period in someone’s life — is directly derivable from 'time' + 'of' + 'life', so learners can infer it refers to an occasion or period. However, the idiomatic evaluative meaning (a particularly enjoyable or memorable period, as in 'the time of my life') goes beyond simple composition and is not fully predictable without exposure, making it only partially transparent.

Etymology

Time of life comes from the image of a very special time in someone's life when they are having lots of fun and great moments. That's why we use it to say someone had a 'very happy' or 'memorable' experience.
