Morphology
The phrase combines 'come' (arrive at a state) with 'online' (available via network), so its meaning 'become operational/available' is directly derivable from the constituents. It follows the common English pattern come + adjective (e.g. come alive, come available) and is cross-linguistically transparent, so a B1 learner who knows both words will very likely understand it.
Etymology
Come online comes from the image of a machine, website, or service that comes online when it is switched on and connected, with lights or signs showing it is ready to use. So, come online now means 'to start working' or 'to become available'.
