Morphology

walk-through = walk (transparent) = through + walk

The metaphorical sense 'a guided step-by-step going through' is clearly derived from 'walk through'. [Postprocessing: moved 'through' from base_words to prefix]

Etymology

Walk-through comes from the idea of the parts walk + through, where someone guides you 'step by step'. A helpful way to remember it is to imagine a person moving with you through each stage, so a walk-through is a step-by-step explanation or demo.
