Morphology
The meaning 'to practise or exercise as a group' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'train' (to practise/condition) with 'together' (jointly). This is a straightforward compositional pattern found across languages and would be immediately comprehensible to a B1 learner who knows both constituents.
Etymology
Train together shows the simple picture of people practising side by side, like teammates running laps or lifting weights in the same place. When people train together, they push and help each other, so the phrase means 'to practise or exercise as a group to improve skills or performance'.
