Morphology
The core verb 'follow' (to pursue) aligns with the MWE meaning, and particles like 'out' often signal completion in English (cf. 'carry out'), so a learner could partly infer 'pursue to conclusion.' However, the given literal sense of 'out' ('away from the interior') does not transparently convey 'to completion' for a B1 learner, and the completion/extension meaning is somewhat metaphorical and not fully predictable without exposure.
Etymology
Follow out comes from the simple picture of following something — follow — until it goes out to its end, like walking a path all the way to the end. So, it means 'to carry an idea or plan through to the end'.
