Morphology
The phrase expresses the source of feelings: 'from' indicates origin and 'heart' is commonly understood as the seat of emotion, so the composite meaning 'sincerely, genuinely' is directly derivable. This metaphorical but transparent source construction is common across languages and follows a straightforward compositional pattern that a B1 learner who knows the words can infer.
Etymology
From the heart comes from the old idea that the heart is the place of true feelings, so speaking as if something comes from your heart creates a strong picture of deep emotion. So, when someone says something from the heart, it means their words are 'sincere' and honest.
