Morphology
The noun phrase is compositionally transparent: 'fetus' (an unborn developing human) combined with 'fetishist' (someone who has a sexual fixation) yields the meaning 'a person who has a sexual fetish for fetuses'. Although the concept is unusual and socially marked, its meaning follows regular compounding and would be inferable by a B1 learner who knows both constituent words.
Etymology
Fetus fetishist combines fetus, meaning an unborn baby, and fetishist, meaning someone who finds an object or body part sexually exciting, so the phrase literally names a person who is sexually attracted to unborn babies, that is 'a person who experiences sexual attraction to or has a fetish for fetuses'.
