Morphology
The meaning is directly derivable from combining 'synonymous' (having the same or very similar meaning) with the preposition 'with' (marking association), so a learner who knows both words will understand that X is 'the same in meaning as' Y. This adjective + preposition pattern is productive and common across languages, making the expression immediately comprehensible to B1 learners.
Etymology
The phrase synonymous with comes from the idea of two names so close together they seem like one. So, when we say something is synonymous with another thing, we mean people think of them as 'the same' or very closely linked.
