Morphology

to + each + one

The meaning 'to or for every individual person or item' is directly and compositionally derived from 'to' (indicating direction/recipient) + 'each' (every individual) + 'one' (a single person), so the overall sense is predictable from the parts. This is a common, cross-linguistically familiar determinative/pronominal pattern in English and other languages, making it immediately comprehensible to a B1 learner who knows the constituents.

Etymology

The phrase to each one comes from the simple image of giving things out: someone hands a small gift to each one in a group, one by one. So it now means 'to or for every person or item separately'.
