Morphology
The meaning 'a person who belongs to the same group' is directly and compositionally derived from 'fellow' (a person of the same group) + 'member' (a person in a group). This is a transparent, cross-linguistically common nominal composition and would be immediately understandable to a B1 learner who knows both constituents.
Etymology
The phrase fellow member comes from two simple images: fellow meaning 'a companion' who stands beside you, and member meaning 'a part of a group'. Imagine people standing side by side as parts of the same team. That's why fellow member means 'a person who belongs to the same group'.
