Morphology
The phrase combines 'all' (everything) and 'good' (acceptable), so a B1 learner who knows both words can readily infer the meaning 'everything is fine' or 'no problem'. This simple compositional pattern (everything + adjective) is cross-linguistically common and entails no major idiomatic shift, making the expression transparent.
Etymology
All good may come from casual speech among surfers and skaters. After a fall, someone would say 'all good' to show they were not hurt, so today all good means 'everything is fine' or 'no problem'.
