Morphology
The meaning is directly and transparently derived from 'support' (offer help) combined with the reciprocal phrase 'each other', which signals mutual action; a learner who knows the constituents can infer 'help one another' easily. This verb + reciprocal construction is grammatically regular and cross-linguistically common, so it will be immediately comprehensible to B1 learners.
Etymology
Support each other shows a simple picture: people standing in a circle, each person puts a hand on the next person's shoulder so everyone supports each other and no one falls. So it means 'to help or encourage one another', especially in hard times.
