Morphology
The meaning 'the usual sequence of activities that a person does every day' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'daily' (every day) with 'routine' (recurring, habitual sequence). This is a straightforward compositional noun phrase found across languages and follows standard English compounding, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Daily routine gives a clear picture: daily means each day and routine is a set of steps you do the same way. That's why daily routine means the usual order of activities someone does 'every day'.
