Morphology

bring + out

The meaning 'to make something known to the public' is directly derivable from combining 'bring' (to carry/produce) with 'out' (to the outside) — i.e., moving something from hidden/inside into public view. This spatial-to-abstract composition is a common phrasal-verb pattern and exists in many languages, so a B1 learner who knows the constituents will very likely infer the sense.

Etymology

Bring out comes from the act of moving a product from the maker into the shop or onto a stage, as if you bring an item out for people to see; that's why it means 'make something available to the public'.
