Morphology

walkthrough = walk (transparent) = through + walk

Derived from the literal action of 'walking through' steps as a rehearsal; meaning is a direct extension of the phrasal verb. [Postprocessing: moved 'through' from base_words to prefix]

Etymology

Walkthrough comes from walk + through, meaning to 'go through' something by moving from one part to the next. A helpful image is a rehearsal where people slowly walk through each action to check it, so a walkthrough is a practice run before the real event.
