Morphology
The meaning is directly derivable from combining 'angel' (a benevolent or exemplary person) with the agentive 'maker' — i.e. someone who makes or creates angels or makes others angelic, which maps onto bringing kindness or joy. The agentive compounding pattern (X-maker = one who makes/creates X) is productive and straightforward, so a B1 learner who knows the constituents should be able to infer the intended sense.
Etymology
Angel maker may come from the simple image of someone who 'makes' angels by doing kind acts, with maker showing the person who creates that feeling. One popular story says people who comfort the sick or help children seemed to 'make' angels around them, so today angel maker means 'a person who brings kindness and joy'.
