Morphology

fangirl = fangirl (semi-transparent) = fan + girl

The verb is a conversion from the noun 'fangirl', and the connection to enthusiastic fan behavior is fairly clear but somewhat slangy and idiomatic.

Etymology

Fangirl as a verb means to act like a fangirl: to show loud, excited, and sometimes over-the-top praise for a celebrity, show, or character. So, to fangirl is to behave in a very enthusiastic, often public way about something you love.
