Morphology
The meaning 'a flight without intermediate stops' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'nonstop' (without stopping) with 'flight' (air journey). This is a straightforward compositional compound found across languages (e.g. direct/non-stop flight), so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand the MWE.
Etymology
The term nonstop flight comes from the plain image of a plane that does not land on the way. The word nonstop literally means 'not stopping', so a nonstop flight goes straight from its origin to its destination without any stops.
