Morphology
The sense 'love is not limited by boundaries' is directly derivable from the parts: the pattern 'X knows no Y' maps transparently to 'X is not limited by Y', so a B1 learner who knows 'love', 'know', 'no' and 'boundary' can infer the meaning. This construction is cross-linguistically common (e.g. Spanish 'el amor no conoce fronteras') and is a straightforward metaphorical extension rather than an unpredictable idiom.
Etymology
Love knows no boundaries paints a simple picture: imagine love walking over fences, walls and national borders, ignoring any boundaries in its way. So the phrase means 'there are no limits' to who or how someone can love.
