Morphology
as + of + late
The phrase is compositionally built from the temporal marker 'as of' plus 'late' meaning 'recently,' so the overall meaning 'recently' is directly derivable from the constituents. This follows a standard temporal composition pattern (akin to 'of late') that a B1 learner who knows the individual words would readily understand.
Etymology
As of late comes from a simple time image: as of means 'from' and late means 'recently', like pointing to the most recent days on a calendar. So, the phrase is used to mean 'recently'.
