Morphology
The meaning 'very popular with a large group' is directly and compositionally derived from 'crowd' (a large group of people) + 'favorite' (a person or thing especially liked). This noun–noun combination follows a transparent modifier–head pattern common across languages, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Crowd favorite comes from live shows and events where the crowd, or audience, loudly cheers and applauds the person or act they like best, the favorite. That loud support is why the phrase means 'a person or thing that is very popular with a large group'.
