Morphology
The sense 'to travel across / pass over' is a straightforward composition of a motion verb get (move/arrive) plus the particle/adverb over (across/on the other side). Although the provided single-word definitions list less relevant senses, a B1 learner who knows the common motion sense of 'get' and the spatial sense of 'over' will readily infer the MWE meaning, so it is transparent.
Etymology
Get over comes from the literal act of crossing something like a river, wall, or mountain: to get over an obstacle is to travel across or pass it, so the phrase means 'to travel across or pass over'.
