Morphology
The phrase combines 'utmost' (greatest possible degree) with 'respect' (admiration) in a straightforward adjective+noun composition, so the meaning 'the greatest possible degree of respect' is directly derivable by a B1 learner who knows both words. This regular degree-noun pattern is common cross-linguistically, making the expression immediately comprehensible.
Etymology
Utmost respect uses utmost meaning 'the highest' and respect meaning 'admiration'. Imagine placing someone on the top step to show they are most honoured, so utmost respect means 'the greatest possible respect'.
