Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'league' as a verb means to join forces and 'together' means jointly, so a learner who knows both constituents can infer 'join or unite with others' without prior exposure. This verb + adverb combination follows a common, cross-linguistic pattern and is therefore easily predictable despite being somewhat formal or less frequent.
Etymology
The verb league together likely comes from the image of a league—a group that links people like a chain—and the word together shows they act as one. So, it means 'to join or unite' to get more strength and reach a common goal.
