Morphology
The meaning 'a man who enjoys outdoor activities' is directly and transparently derivable from combining 'outdoor' (related to activities outside) with 'man' (adult male). This clear adjective+noun composition follows standard compounding patterns in English and is cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Outdoor man paints a simple picture of a man who spends time outdoor, camping, fishing, or hiking. So, it means 'a man who enjoys or prefers outdoor activities'.
