Morphology
The sense 'to match or be compatible' is directly derived from combining 'go' in the sense 'fit/harmonize' with 'together' indicating mutual relation. This compositional pattern (go + together/with) is a common, non-metaphorical English construction and is likely inferable by a B1 learner who knows both constituents.
Etymology
The phrasal verb go together comes from the simple image of two things moving side by side. If items walk or fit side by side—if they are together—they match, so the phrase means 'to match' or 'be compatible'.
