Morphology
The components give partial clues: 'on' conveys continuation and 'with' denotes accompaniment, while 'get' can imply moving into a state, so a learner might plausibly infer a sense of resuming or progressing. However, the exact phrasal-verb meaning and the specific particle combination are not fully predictable from the parts alone and require familiarity with English particle verbs, so it is only partially transparent to a B1 learner.
Etymology
Get on with. The phrasal verb get on with may come from the image of two people getting on the same side and staying together. So if people 'get on with' each other they are friendly and comfortable, meaning 'to have a friendly or harmonious relationship'.
