Morphology

angel + mom

The meaning is directly derivable from combining 'angel' (a notably kind/helpful person) with 'mom' (mother); the phrase simply describes a mother who is exceptionally caring. The 'angel' metaphor as an evaluative modifier is common in English and other languages, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily infer the intended meaning.

Etymology

Angel mom compares a mom to an angel, a kind, protective figure who helps people in need. That's why it means 'a caring and supportive mother who goes out of her way to help others'.
