Morphology
The meaning 'to move or pass quickly through a space' is directly built from 'blow' (to move air) plus 'through' (moving from one side to the other), so a learner who knows both words can compose the event of wind passing through something. This is a common verb + preposition motion pattern found across languages, making the phrase readily understandable at B1.
Etymology
The verb blow through comes from the simple picture of the words blow and through: wind moving straight through a gap or open door, like a cold draft rushing across a room. So, it means 'to move or pass quickly through a space or opening'.
