Morphology
The core sense — a 'bro' who habitually debates or argues — is directly inferable from combining 'debate' and 'bro', so a learner who knows both words can guess it denotes a male who likes to argue. However, the item is slang with evaluative and online/performative nuances (pejorative, excessive enthusiasm) that are not fully predictable from the constituents, so full comprehension requires exposure.
Etymology
Debate bro likely comes from joining debate and bro, and it brings to mind a confident young man who loves to 'argue', often online. That's why it means someone too eager to argue who tries to win every discussion.
