Morphology
The sense 'to become detached or emerge' follows directly from combining 'come' (to move or appear) with the particle 'out' (to the outside, emergence or removal); the particle adds the idea of emerging or being removed, so the overall meaning is compositionally predictable. This motion/particle pattern is common in English (and mirrored in many other languages), so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will typically infer the meaning.
Etymology
Come out paints a picture of something moving from inside to outside, like the sun coming out from behind clouds. So come out means 'to appear' or 'become visible'.
