Morphology
The meaning 'to take pleasure in living' is directly and compositionally derived from 'enjoy' (to find pleasurable) plus 'life' (one's existence), so a learner who knows both words can infer the MWE meaning. This is a common, literal verb + noun collocation that follows cross-linguistic patterns and is immediately comprehensible to a B1 learner.
Etymology
Enjoy life comes from the simple image of the verb enjoy applied to life, like someone tasting good food, laughing with friends, or watching a sunset and stopping to feel happy. So it means 'to take pleasure in living'.
