Morphology
The meaning 'a piece of equipment for physical exercise' is directly and compositionally derived from 'exercise' (bodily movements for fitness) + 'device' (a manufactured item for a practical purpose). This noun–noun combination follows a transparent, cross-linguistically common compounding pattern that a B1 learner who knows both words will readily understand.
Etymology
Exercise device names a device that helps you do exercise, so imagine a simple tool or machine—like a pedal, band, or bench—that makes moving your body easier. That's why it means 'a piece of equipment used to help a person exercise'.
