Morphology
throughout = (transparent) = through + out
The adverbial sense 'during the whole period' is a direct compositional meaning from 'through' + 'out', which learners can derive from the components. [Postprocessing: moved 'through', 'out' from base_words to prefix]
Etymology
Throughout is made from through ('from one side to the other') and out ('all around'), so a helpful way to remember it is that something continues 'from start to finish' or is present during the whole time.
