Morphology
The meaning 'a written message expressing romantic affection' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'love' (romantic affection) with 'letter' (a written message). This straightforward compound follows a common cross-linguistic pattern (e.g., Spanish 'carta de amor') and uses basic high-frequency words, so a B1 learner who knows the constituents should be able to infer the meaning.
Etymology
The noun love letter is simply love (feeling for someone) plus letter (a written note). People often wrote private notes to tell someone they cared, so that's why love letter means 'a written message expressing romantic affection'.
