Morphology
The sense ‘to introduce or present’ is directly derivable from combining 'bring' (to move toward) with 'forward' (toward the front), portraying moving an item into prominence for consideration. This motion-to-presentation metaphor is a common, compositional pattern in many languages and follows standard English particle-verb semantics, so a B1 learner who knows the words would likely infer the meaning.
Etymology
Bring forward comes from the image of carrying a paper or idea to the front of a meeting so everyone can see it. That's why bring forward means 'to introduce or present something for discussion'.
