Morphology

just + come + out

The meaning 'to be released or made available very recently' is directly and predictably derivable from 'just' (very recently) + 'come' (appear/arrive) + 'out' (outward/released). The phrasal verb 'come out' commonly means 'be released/published' in English (and similar verbs are used in many languages), so a B1 learner who knows the constituents will readily infer this sense.

Etymology

The phrase just come out creates a simple image: something has come out of a box or cover only moments ago, like a book just printed or a phone taken out of its box. That's why it means 'to be released' or 'made available' very recently.
