Morphology

walkthrough = walk (transparent) = through + walk

An inspection or guided tour is a fairly literal 'walking through' a place to check it; learners can directly relate it to the components. [Postprocessing: moved 'through' from base_words to prefix]

Etymology

Walkthrough comes from walk + through, meaning to walk through a place to look at it. So a walkthrough is a guided tour or inspection to check the condition or features of a room, house, or space.
