Morphology
The meaning 'complete and loyal support given without doubt' is directly predictable from combining 'unquestioning' (showing no doubt) with 'support' (aid/approval). This adjective+noun composition follows a regular, cross-linguistic pattern, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Unquestioning support comes from the simple image of someone giving help without asking any questions: unquestioning means not asking and support means help or backing. So it means 'full, loyal help with no doubt'.
