Morphology

have + it + away

The phrase combines 'have' (possess) with 'away' (movement/removal), so a learner might infer a sense of taking or removal, giving some cue to its meaning. However, the specific sense 'to steal' with a surreptitious/dishonest nuance and its regional/informal usage in British English are not fully predictable from the parts, so a B1 learner who knows the words would likely not reliably infer the exact idiomatic meaning without exposure.

Etymology

Have it away may come from the idea of taking someone away for private time so you can have them out of sight. One popular story says this hidden image of being taken away explains why it means 'to have sex'.
