Morphology
The phrase 'miracle man' is a straightforward noun‑noun composition where 'miracle' qualifies 'man', so a learner who knows 'miracle' (an extraordinary event) and 'man' (an adult male) can infer 'a man who performs or is associated with miracles'. This compositional pattern is common cross‑linguistically and follows normal English noun modification, making it immediately comprehensible to a B1 learner.
Etymology
The phrase miracle man comes from stories of a man who did a miracle, like suddenly healing the sick, and people would call him a 'miracle man' when they saw the wonder. That's why today it means 'a man who seems to do amazing or impossible things'.
