Morphology
get + through
There is a clear compositional link: 'get' (reach/obtain) plus 'through' (across/past/finished) conveys the idea of passing, completing, or managing to pass a period or task, so a learner can often infer a basic sense. However, the specific range of meanings (finish a task, endure a difficult period, or succeed in contacting someone) are metaphorical extensions and not fully predictable from the parts without exposure.
Etymology
Get through can come from the image of forcing your way through a crowd or barrier to reach a place or person, so it means 'to succeed in reaching a goal'.
