Morphology
The meaning 'to establish a relationship, understanding, or rapport with other people' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'connect' (establish contact or rapport) with the preposition 'with' and 'people' (other persons). This verb + preposition + noun composition is literal and cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows the constituent words will readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Connect with people paints a simple picture: imagine connect as joining two wires or building a small bridge between people. When you make that bridge, you understand them and feel close, so it means 'to start a relationship or understanding'.
