Morphology
The meaning 'to move someone or something out of the way by pushing' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'push' (to apply force) with 'aside' (to the side/out of the way). This follows a common English verb+particle pattern that is cross-linguistically frequent, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents can readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Push aside comes from the simple picture of moving something to the side with your hand. If you push something aside, you leave it out of the way, so the phrase now means 'to refuse to consider' or 'to ignore'.
