Morphology
throughout = (transparent) = through + out
The locative sense 'in every part of a place' is a clear composition of 'through' + 'out', so learners who know the components can infer the meaning. [Postprocessing: moved 'through', 'out' from base_words to prefix]
Etymology
Throughout comes from the parts through ('from one side to the other') and out ('all around'), so it means something is in 'every part' of a place or happens during the whole period.
