Morphology
The phrase literally combines 'no longer' (not anymore) + 'with us' (present among us), so a learner who knows the parts can infer absence or that someone is not here. However, the specific euphemistic meaning 'has died' or 'ceased to exist' requires pragmatic/cultural knowledge and is not fully predictable from the words alone, making it only partially transparent to a B1 learner.
Etymology
No longer with us may come from the simple image of a person who used to stand with us in a group or at a table but is now gone, so people began using this gentle phrase instead of saying 'died' or 'no longer exists'.
