Morphology
The meaning 'to return to one's home' is directly and compositionally derived from 'go' (to move/travel) plus 'home' (toward one's place of residence). This motion verb + direction pattern is regular in English and cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily understand the expression.
Etymology
Go home paints a simple picture: go means 'move' and home means 'your house' or where you live, so it means 'to return home'.
