Morphology
The meaning 'to get out of bed or wake up early' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'rise' (to get up) with 'early' (before the usual time). This verb + adverb composition follows a common, cross-linguistic pattern and would be immediately understandable to a B1 learner who knows both words.
Etymology
Rise early comes from the simple image of rising with the sun at dawn, like farmers or roosters who wake when daylight comes. That's why it means 'to get out of bed' or wake up early.
