Morphology
The phrase 'good morning' is transparently built from 'good' (positive/pleasant) + 'morning' (the early part of the day) and literally conveys a positive wish for the morning; this adjective+noun salutation pattern is common cross-linguistically. A B1 learner who knows both words will readily infer its use as a polite morning greeting without prior exposure.
Etymology
Good morning comes from the simple idea of wishing someone a good morning when you meet them at the start of the day. That's why we still use good morning as a polite way to 'say hello' in the morning.
