Morphology
The meaning 'to deceive all the people' is directly and compositionally derived from 'fool' (to deceive) + 'everyone' (all people), so a learner who knows both words can infer the MWE meaning. This is a straightforward, cross-linguistically common verb + quantifier construction and follows regular English composition patterns, making it immediately comprehensible to a B1 learner.
Etymology
Fool everyone paints a simple picture: one person makes the whole group look like a fool by hiding the truth from everyone, like a magician who tricks the whole crowd. That's why fool everyone means 'to trick all the people'.
