Morphology

true + beardo

The meaning is directly compositional: 'true' (genuine/intense) + 'beardo' (a man with a beard) yields 'a genuine/committed bearded man.' This follows a standard adjective + noun intensifying pattern that a B1 learner who knows both constituents can readily infer.

Etymology

The name true beardo may come from a playful image: imagine a man who spends time oiling, combing and proudly stroking his beard. Here true shows he really follows the beard life and beardo is a funny name for a man with a beard, so the phrase means 'a man who takes great pride in grooming his beard'.
