Morphology
The sense 'to become known' is directly derivable from combining 'get' (to come to a state/arrive) with 'out' (into the open/public). This particle-verb composition (information getting 'out' into the public) is a transparent, cross-linguistically common metaphor, so a B1 learner who knows both words would likely infer the meaning.
Etymology
Get out, literally get and out, began as the plain picture of moving out of a place, for example stepping out of a room or a car to leave. That's why it means 'to leave or depart from a place or situation'.
