position
🔭 見 (see) + 通し (through): seeing straight through to what lies ahead
見 means see and 通し means running right through, so 見通し is seeing clear through to the far end. It also means a forecast: 今後の見通し is the outlook for what comes next.
通 — 辵 (辶) walk + 甬 yǒng (phonetic)
通 is a semantic-phonetic compound. The 辶 (chuò) component means 'walk' or 'movement', giving the meaning of going through or passing. 甬 (yǒng), originally depicting a hanging bell or a path, supplies the sound. Together they convey 'to pass through, communicate, connect'.
