Morphology
The meaning 'a device used to enter data or instructions' is directly and transparently derived from 'input' (data fed into equipment) combined with 'device' (a manufactured item for a practical purpose). This straightforward noun–noun composition follows common compounding patterns and is cross-linguistically regular, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand it.
Etymology
Input device is a name for something that 'puts in' information to a computer. The word input means 'to put in' and device means 'tool', so an input device is any tool like a keyboard or mouse that you use to give information or commands to a computer.
