Morphology
The meaning 'to repeat something' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'say' (to speak or state) with 'again' (once more). This simple verb + adverb composition follows a common, cross-linguistic pattern, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Say again comes from the simple idea of asking someone to say something again when you did not hear them. That's why it means 'to repeat' or 'to state again'.
