Morphology

pure + bliss

The meaning is directly and transparently derived from 'pure' (an intensifier meaning utter/sheer) modifying 'bliss' (intense happiness), so a learner who knows both words can infer 'pure bliss' = complete happiness. This intensifier+noun pattern is common across languages and follows regular English adjectival modification, making it immediately comprehensible to B1 learners.

Etymology

Pure bliss creates a simple picture: pure like clear, clean water with nothing mixed in, and bliss meaning deep joy. So, pure bliss means 'complete happiness' without anything spoiling it.
