Morphology
The meaning 'also/furthermore' is directly derivable from combining 'in' (indicating inclusion/relation) with 'addition' (the act of adding more), yielding a compositional sense of adding extra information. This is a common discourse connector pattern found across languages, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will typically understand the phrase.
Etymology
In addition is like putting one more thing on a pile. Imagine you say one fact and then add another paper on top. That's why in and addition together mean 'also' or to give extra information.
