Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'beardo' (a man with a beard) modifies 'enthusiast' (a person with a strong interest), yielding someone enthusiastic about beards or bearded people. Although 'beardo' is colloquial, the constituent meanings combine in a regular noun‑modifier + head pattern that a B1 learner who knows both words can readily infer.
Etymology
Beardo enthusiast may come from a playful nickname: beardo (a person with a beard) plus enthusiast (someone who loves something). One popular story says beard clubs and contests used beardo as a friendly label, so the phrase came to mean 'a person who has a strong interest in beards'.
