Morphology

get + out + of + here

The meaning 'to leave this place' is directly and compositionally derivable from the parts: 'get' (move/arrive), + 'out' (away from the interior), + 'of here' (this place). This is a standard English motion/phrasal construction with a literal spatial sense found across many languages, so a B1 learner who knows the constituents will readily infer the intended meaning.

Etymology

Get out of here shows a simple picture: get out means to leave and here means this place. Imagine a room filling with smoke where someone shouts get out of here so everyone moves away fast, and that's why it means 'to leave or go away, especially quickly or suddenly'.
