see through someone/something, to

To penetrate to the true nature; to overcome deception. This locution dates from the sixteenth century, and the idea is no doubt much older still. “He saw through him, both within and without,” wrote Edward Hall (Chronicles, ca. 1548). Ben Jonson amplified it with another metaphor (Cynthia’s Revels, 1599, 5.4): “He is a mere peece of glasse, I see through him.”
