Morphology
The meaning 'to unite or collaborate' is directly and compositionally derived from 'come' (arrive/approach) + 'together' (jointly), following a common English pattern where a motion/arrival verb plus 'together' indicates joining. This construction is cross-linguistically frequent and predictable, so a B1 learner who knows the constituent words should be able to infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Come together shows a simple picture. Two hands come toward each other and are together around a small bird, or petals close to protect a flower. So it means 'to move toward each other and meet'.
