Morphology
The meaning 'along with; in addition to' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'together' (acting jointly) with 'with' (accompanying), yielding a clear sense of accompaniment or combination. This is a common, productive adverb+preposition pattern found across many languages, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Together with gives a simple picture of two people or things standing side by side: together shows they are joined and with points to the other person or thing. That's why it means 'in addition to' or 'along with'.
