Morphology
The phrase combines 'good' (positive/attractive) with 'looker' (an attractive person), so the meaning 'a visually attractive person' is directly derivable from the constituents. This simple adjective + noun composition is cross-linguistically common and would be immediately understandable to a B1 learner who knows both words.
Etymology
Good looker The compound good looker comes from the simple idea of someone who is good to look at — a looker who catches people's eyes. That's why it means 'visually attractive'.
