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 (a task) looks like working through a pile of papers from top to bottom, and when you finish the pile you have 'completed' the task.
