Morphology
The meaning 'used to introduce an additional point' is directly and transparently derived from 'another' (an additional/different) + 'thing' (an item or point). This compositional discourse use follows common cross-linguistic patterns and would be easily understandable to a B1 learner who knows both constituents.
Etymology
Another thing comes from the simple image of someone adding another thing to a list, so saying 'another thing' is like holding up one more item to add. That's why we use another thing when we want to 'introduce an additional point' or make another complaint.
