Morphology
The meaning 'to give birth to or produce' is directly derivable from combining 'bring' (to produce or cause) with 'forth' (out/into view), so the sense is compositionally transparent. Although somewhat formal or literary, the bring + out/forth pattern is common cross-linguistically, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents should be able to infer the meaning.
Etymology
Bring forth comes from the simple image of moving something forward into view: to bring something forth is to carry it out from where it was hidden so everyone can see it. So it now often means 'to produce' or 'make something appear'.
