Morphology
The meaning is directly derivable from combining 'blossom' (to flourish/develop) with 'into' (indicating change into a different state), so a learner who knows both words can infer 'develop gradually into' without prior exposure. This is a regular verb + preposition composition found across languages and follows predictable English usage, making it immediately comprehensible to B1 learners.
Etymology
Blossom into comes from the image of a plant slowly opening its blossom and moving into a full, bright flower. That's why we say something 'blossoms into' a new or better form when it grows or becomes more mature over time.
