Morphology
The meaning 'to write something completely or in detail' is directly derivable from combining 'write' with the particle 'out', where 'out' commonly conveys a sense of completion or full expression in verb+particle constructions. This compositional pattern is frequent and predictable, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents can reasonably infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
The phrasal verb write out may come from the picture of putting words out of your mind by writing them down on paper so they are fully shown. That's why it means 'to write something completely or in detail'.
