Morphology
The meaning 'to convey information or an object to someone else' is directly derivable from 'pass' (to give/hand over) combined with 'along' (forward/along a chain), forming a straightforward verb+particle composition. This compositional pattern is common in English phrasal verbs and has cross-linguistic parallels, so a B1 learner who knows the parts should be able to infer the meaning.
Etymology
The phrasal verb pass along comes from the simple image of people in a line handing an item from one person to the next. So, to pass something along today means 'to tell someone or give them information or an object'.
