Morphology
The literal meanings of 'push' (apply force) and 'through' (from one side to the other) map onto a clear physical image of forcing something past obstacles, which supports a metaphorical reading of persevering. However, the perseverance sense requires a figurative extension of the physical image and relies on phrasal-verb usage, so a B1 learner might infer it but not fully predict it without exposure.
Etymology
Push through comes from the picture of someone using push to force their way through a crowd or barrier. So, it means 'to keep going' or 'to continue despite problems'.
