Morphology
The meaning 'to assist or facilitate progress' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'help' (to assist) with 'along' (onward/progress). This verb + particle composition follows a common English pattern and is cross-linguistically intuitive, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would readily understand it.
Etymology
Help along comes from the simple image of someone walking beside another and giving a little push or steady support. The parts help and along show support plus forward movement, so it means 'to assist' or 'to make progress easier'.
