Morphology
The meaning 'to put something in a place where it can be kept safely and used in the future' is directly and compositionally derived from 'store' (to place items away for safekeeping) combined with the particle 'away' (indicating removal or reservation). This verb + particle construction is a common, transparent pattern in English (and appears similarly in many other languages), so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would readily understand the expression.
Etymology
Store away shows a simple picture: you store items and put them away in a safe place like a cupboard or box so you can use them later. So it means 'to put something in a safe place to use in the future'.
