Morphology
The meaning is directly and transparently derived from combining 'easy' (simple) with 'follow' (to understand or carry out instructions), with 'to' functioning as the infinitival marker rather than adding idiomatic meaning. This standard adjective + to-infinitive construction is common cross-linguistically, so a B1 learner who knows the parts will readily infer the overall sense.
Etymology
Easy to follow comes from the image of a path with clear signs and steps. If the path is easy you can follow it without getting lost, so the phrase means 'simple to understand or do'.
