Morphology
The meaning 'collectively; all together' is directly and compositionally derived from 'as' (in the manner/role of) plus 'a group' (a single unit of people), so the overall sense follows straightforwardly from the constituents. This is a common, cross-linguistic combinatorial pattern in English, so a B1 learner who knows the words will readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
The phrase as a group comes from the clear image of people standing or working together as one, with the word group showing a set of people joined together. So, saying as a group means 'all together' when people act or decide at the same time.
