Morphology
The meaning is directly derivable from combining 'computing' (relating to computers or data processing) with 'device' (a manufactured item for a practical purpose) to yield 'a device for computing'. This noun–noun composition is a transparent, cross-linguistically common pattern, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Computing device combines computing ('to calculate or work with data') and device ('a small machine'), so picture a little machine doing sums or handling information. That's why it means 'a machine that calculates or processes data'.
