Morphology
The sense 'to cause something to happen' is partially deducible because 'bring' carries a causative/producing meaning and 'on' can signal onset or occurrence, so a learner who knows both words will get a general idea. However, the particle use in this phrasal verb and its collocational/idiomatic nuances (e.g., bring on an illness vs. bring about) are not fully predictable without exposure, and cross-linguistic realizations vary, making it not fully transparent.
Etymology
The phrasal verb bring on comes from the picture of carrying something onto a stage or into view: to bring something on means to move it out where everyone can see it, like a new actor or a product. That's why it now means 'to introduce or release something to the public'.
