Morphology

echo + through

The meaning 'to reverberate or resound throughout a space' is directly and compositionally derived from 'echo' (to resound) combined with 'through' (across or throughout), so a learner who knows both words can infer the MWE meaning. This verb + preposition pattern is transparent and cross-linguistically common, making it readily understandable to a B1 learner.

Etymology

The verb echoed through comes from the picture of a sound hitting walls and bouncing back, like a voice in a big hall that seems to repeat and fill the room. That's why echoed plus through now mean 'reverberated throughout' or 'resounded in a place'.
