Morphology
The meaning 'to provide a clear understanding about X' is directly derivable from combining 'give' (to provide) with 'insight' (understanding) and the preposition 'into' (indicating the target domain). This compositional pattern is common cross-linguistically and follows normal English verb + noun + preposition semantics, so a B1 learner who knows the constituents would readily grasp the phrase.
Etymology
Give insight into brings to mind someone opening a window or shining a light so you can see inside a room. To give someone insight is to make things clear, so the phrase means 'to help someone understand' something.
