Morphology
The meaning 'to return to life' is directly compositional from 'rise' (return to life/get up) plus 'again' (once more); there is no idiomatic shift here. This pattern is cross-linguistically common and therefore a B1 learner who knows both constituent meanings should be able to infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
The phrase rise again comes from images like the phoenix, a bird in old stories that burns and then rises from its ashes. The word again shows it comes back, so rise again means 'to return to life or activity'.
