Morphology
The meaning 'to unite with others in support or solidarity' is directly derivable from combining 'stand' (to hold or defend a position) with 'together' (acting jointly), so a B1 learner who knows both words can infer the expression. This verb + adverb composition is a common, cross-linguistic pattern (e.g., equivalents in Romance and Germanic languages), making the phrase predictable rather than idiomatic.
Etymology
The expression stand together comes from the picture of people literally stand side by side, shoulder to shoulder, that is, together. When people do this they support each other, so the phrase means 'to unite' or 'to support each other'.
