From '小声' (kogoe, low voice) + 'で' (de, particle indicating means) + '話す' (hanasu, to talk). The word '小声' is a compound of '小' (ko, small) and '声' (koe, voice). The practice of speaking in a low voice has likely existed as long as language itself, often associated with secrecy, respect, or not wanting to disturb others. The specific compound '小声' and its use with '話す' to form the verb phrase is a natural grammatical construction in Japanese.
