Morphology
there + for + everyone + to + see
The meaning is directly built from the parts: 'there' (in that place), 'for everyone' (available to all) and 'to see' (to perceive visually), so a learner who knows the constituent words can infer 'openly visible to all'. The syntactic pattern (X for everyone to see) is compositional and cross-linguistically common, making the phrase immediately comprehensible at B1.
Etymology
The phrase there for everyone to see paints a simple picture: something is put there in a place where everyone can see it, like a note left on the kitchen table in full view. So it means 'openly visible' or 'obvious to everyone'.
