Morphology
The meaning 'to leave a place and move away' is directly derivable from combining 'go' (move) with 'forth' (forward/onward). This motion verb + directional particle pattern is common cross-linguistically and, despite its slightly formal/literary register, a B1 learner who knows both constituents should be able to infer the meaning.
Etymology
Go forth creates a simple picture: go (move) and forth (out and forward), like people stepping out of a camp or through a door to travel or share news, and that's why it means 'to leave a place and move away' in a formal or literary way.
