Morphology
The meaning 'in addition to' is directly built from the element 'as well' (meaning 'also') combined with the linking 'as', so a learner who knows 'well' = 'also' and the comparative/linking use of 'as' can infer the MWE's sense. This is a frequent, grammaticalized coordination pattern (similar to 'and also' in many languages), so it is immediately accessible to a B1 learner who knows the constituents.
Etymology
As well as comes from the short saying as well, which people used to add something extra to what they already mentioned; they would say one thing was true 'as well' and then name the next thing. So as well as now means 'in addition to' or 'and also'.
