Morphology
The meaning 'to cause something to happen' is directly derivable from combining 'give' (to produce or cause) with 'rise' (to begin or come into existence): the phrase literally means to cause something to arise. This causative compositional pattern (often realized as 'give rise to') is cross-linguistically common and therefore should be predictable for a B1 learner who knows both constituents.
Etymology
The phrasal verb give rise may come from the simple image of something being made to stand up or appear. Think of give as 'cause' and rise as 'go up', like heat that makes steam rise, so it means 'to cause something to happen'.
