Morphology
The meaning 'to experience or endure a difficult situation' is a metaphorical extension of the literal sense of 'go' + 'through' (to pass through something), so a B1 learner who knows both constituents can often infer it means to undergo or pass an experience. However, the shift from physical movement to enduring hardship is figurative and not fully predictable without exposure, so it is only partially transparent.
Etymology
Go through comes from the picture of moving step by step through a list or a book; you move from one item to the next with your finger or eyes. That's why it means 'to consider or examine something carefully'.
