Morphology
The meaning 'to recover and become healthy' is compositionally derived from 'get' (become) + 'well' (in good health); the phrase simply expresses a change of state. The 'get + adjective' pattern is a common and productive construction across languages, so a B1 learner who knows both words would readily infer this meaning.
Etymology
The phrase get well comes from the simple idea of get (to become or reach) and well (healthy). That's why to get well means to move from being sick to being 'healthy' or 'recovered'.
