Morphology
The meaning 'to walk or climb up' is directly compositional from 'hike' (go for a walk/trek) + 'up' (upwards/direction), following a common verb+particle directional pattern that B1 learners can infer. The supplied constituent glosses show the financial/increase senses of 'hike' and 'up', which could confuse learners who only know those senses, but given the ordinary motion senses the MWE is overall transparent.
Etymology
Hike up The phrasal verb hike up meaning 'walk or climb up' comes from the picture of taking strong steps to move higher on a hill, with hike as walking and up as the direction. So hike up means to walk or climb up a hill.
