Morphology
The meaning 'the complete and detailed account' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'full' (complete) with 'story' (narrative); the determiner 'the' simply specifies a particular instance. This adjective+noun compositional pattern is common cross-linguistically and B1 learners who know the constituents should be able to infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
The full story comes from the image of a full story, like a book that shows every page from start to end. So when someone gives the full story, they mean the 'whole account' with all the facts and events.
