Morphology

come + with

The meaning 'to occur as a result of or be associated with' is directly derivable from combining 'come' (to occur/arrive) with 'with' (together/alongside), yielding the sense 'accompany' or 'occur alongside'. This verb + with composition is cross-linguistically common and follows regular English patterns, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents should be able to infer the MWE's meaning.

Etymology

The phrasal verb come with comes from the simple image of things arriving together: one item literally comes with another, like a phone that arrives in a box with a charger. So, come with means 'to be included with' or to accompany something.
