Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'in this' = in this situation and 'together' = jointly, so a learner who knows the constituent words can infer 'we share the same situation and support each other.' This pattern is common across languages and follows a standard English preposition + demonstrative + adverb structure, making it immediately understandable to a B1 learner.
Etymology
In this together comes from a simple picture of people all being in the same small boat during a storm, so they are together and must help each other. That's why it means 'sharing the same difficult situation' and 'supporting each other'.
