Morphology

walkthrough = walk (transparent) = through + walk

Formed from the phrasal verb 'walk through' meaning to guide step-by-step; the noun denotes a guide and is directly derived. [Postprocessing: moved 'through' from base_words to prefix]

Etymology

Walkthrough comes from the words walk and through, which together mean 'to move step by step through something'. Think of someone walking you through a task so you can follow each step, which is why a walkthrough is a detailed step-by-step guide.
