Morphology
The meaning 'an amusing or unexpected variation' is directly derivable from combining 'fun' (amusing) with 'twist' (an unexpected change); each constituent contributes transparently to the compound sense. This simple modifier+noun composition follows regular English patterns and is cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily understand the phrase.
Etymology
Fun twist comes from the image of a sudden twist, like a quick turn in a story or event that changes what you expect. Because this surprise makes things more interesting and often funny, the phrase means 'an amusing or unexpected change'.
