Morphology
ring + out
The meaning 'to sound loudly and clearly' is directly derivable from combining 'ring' (to produce a clear sound) with the particle 'out' which signals projection or extension of that sound; 'out' adds direction/intensity but does not create an idiomatic shift. This compositional pattern is common in English (and mirrored in many other languages), so a B1 learner who knows the constituents would very likely infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
The verb ring out comes from the picture of a bell sending a clear sound across a place; when a bell is hit its loud ring goes out over the town. That's why ring out now means 'to sound loudly and clearly'.
