Morphology
The meaning 'in the same way; similarly' is directly derivable from combining 'just' (precisely/exactly) with the comparative connector 'as' — together they signal a precise similarity. This composition follows standard comparative patterns found in many languages, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Just as is like a mirror: one action matches another, for example following a recipe the same way someone else did. The word as shows the comparison and just makes it exact, so just as means doing something 'in the same way'.
