Morphology
The meaning 'a long and adventurous journey involving heroic deeds' is directly and predictably derived from combining 'epic' (grand, heroic) with 'quest' (an adventurous search/journey). This adjective+noun composition follows normal semantic combination patterns found across languages, so a B1 learner who knows both words can readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
The phrase epic quest comes from old stories called epics, where a hero travels far and faces many dangers. Here epic means a big, famous story and quest means a search or journey, so the phrase now means 'a long and adventurous journey with great challenges'.
