Morphology
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 paints the picture of pulling something hidden into the open, like taking a letter from a drawer and showing it to others, so it means 'make something known to the public'.
