Morphology
The meaning is directly and transparently derived from combining 'devoted' (strong dedication) with 'follower' (a supporter); a learner who knows both words will infer someone extremely loyal and enthusiastic. This is a simple adjectival modification pattern that is compositional and common across languages, so it should be immediately understandable to a B1 learner.
Etymology
Devoted follower combines devoted (giving a lot of love and time) and follower (someone who walks behind a leader). Picture a person who is always close to and helps a leader; this image explains why it means 'an extremely loyal supporter'.
