Morphology

go + in + with

The constituents 'go' (move), 'in' (into), and 'with' (together/alongside) give plausible clues that someone is entering or taking part together with others, so a learner can partially infer a sense of joining. However, the shift from literal motion to the abstract idea of partnership or joint investment is a metaphorical extension of those parts and not fully predictable without exposure, so it is best classified as semi-transparent.

Etymology

The phrasal verb go in with comes from the simple image of people going in together through the same door or into the same project, with the with showing they are acting as a team. So, it now means 'to join or invest with someone'.
