Morphology
The sense 'to exceed a limit/expectation' is directly derivable from combining 'go' (move/proceed) with 'beyond' (further than), a straightforward spatial-to-figurative extension. This compositional pattern is common cross-linguistically and follows normal English particle usage, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
Go beyond comes from the simple image of walking past a line or fence: go means to move and beyond means past the line. That's why it now means 'to go past' a limit or 'do more than' people expect.
