Surface Forms
Morphology
The meaning 'every year' is directly and compositionally derived from 'each' (indicating individual/every) combined with 'year' (a 12-month period). This quantifier + time noun pattern is cross-linguistically common and fully predictable, so a B1 learner who knows both words will understand the MWE.
Etymology
Each year comes from the simple idea of marking the same date on a calendar, with each meaning every and year meaning one full year. So, each year tells you something happens or is counted 'every year', for example a payment or a visit.
