Morphology
The meaning 'suitable for people of every age group' is directly and compositionaly derived from 'all' (the whole group) + 'age' (years/groups by age), following the common pattern seen in phrases like 'for all ages' or 'all-age event'. This semantic combination is cross-linguistically common and a B1 learner who knows both words would readily infer the intended meaning (the slight orthographic/numbering variation—e.g. 'all ages' or 'all-age'—does not reduce transparency).
Etymology
All age is like a simple sign showing that people of all age groups can come, for example children, parents and grandparents together. That's why it means 'suitable for people of every age'.
