Explanation

及ぶ means "to reach" or "to amount to." The noun version is more like a grammar thing, as it means "as well as." Perhaps if you are reaching a certain point or certain amount, then you are adding things on. That's why this means "as well as".

Note that 及び is a term usually used in formal writing.
