Morphology
The meaning 'to separate or spread into multiple related branches' follows directly from 'ramify' (to extend outward into branches) combined with the directional/prepositional sense of 'into'. This is a compositional verb + preposition pattern found cross-linguistically, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
Ramify into comes from the image of a tree: a main branch splits into many smaller branches. That's why when something ramifies into new areas, it 'spreads into' several related parts or issues.
