Morphology
The meaning 'to collaborate' is directly and compositionally derived from 'work' (to perform tasks) combined with 'together' (jointly), so a learner who knows both words can infer the MWE meaning. This motion/participant+adverb pattern is cross-linguistically common and follows standard English combinatory rules, making it clearly transparent for B1 learners.
Etymology
Work together paints a simple image: people work side by side, lifting or building something so they are together in the effort. That's why it means 'to work with others' to reach a shared goal.
