Morphology
bone-deep + tired
The meaning 'extremely fatigued' is directly inferable by combining 'bone' (a body part) with 'deep' (indicating great extent or intensity) to modify 'tired' as an intensifier. This noun+adjective intensifier pattern (e.g. 'to the bone', 'bone-deep cold') is fairly transparent and cross-linguistically recognizable, so a B1 learner who knows the constituents would likely understand the sense.
Etymology
Bone-deep tired creates a picture of tiredness that goes into the bone and is very deep inside you, not just on the surface. That's why it means 'extremely tired'.
