Morphology
The parts 'along' and 'with' signal togetherness and 'get' can suggest becoming or moving into a state, so learners might infer a general sense of being "together" or managing in relation to someone. However, the specific conversational meaning 'have a friendly or harmonious relationship' is an extended, phrasal-verb sense that is not fully predictable from the constituents, making it only partially transparent.
Etymology
Get along with may come from the image of people getting along a road together, moving side by side without trouble. That's why it means 'to have a friendly or harmonious relationship'.
