Morphology
The sense 'to join or become associated with a group' is directly derivable from combining 'put' (place), 'in' (inside/among), and 'with' (together); a B1 learner who knows those words can infer placing oneself among others. This follows standard compositional logic (place + into/among + together), so the expression is transparently built from its constituents.
Etymology
The phrasal verb put in with comes from the simple image of put, in and with: you place yourself among other people and stand with them. So it means 'to join or become part of'.
