Morphology
The sense 'to be received or perceived in a particular way' is not directly predictable from the literal meanings of 'go' (advance/unfold) and 'over' (above/across), although a loose motion/metaphor of something 'passing across' to others can hint at reception. Because that metaphorical linkage may sometimes help learners but does not reliably yield the specific reception meaning without exposure, this item is best classified as semi-transparent.
Etymology
Go over comes from old army inspections. A leader would walk along the rows and look at each soldier — literally go over them — so it came to mean 'to review' or 'check'.
