Morphology
The meaning 'a person who shows strong loyalty and enthusiasm' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'devoted' (exhibiting strong dedication) with 'fan' (an admirer/supporter). This adjective+noun composition is a common, compositional pattern in English (and parallels in many languages), so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily understand the phrase.
Etymology
Devoted fan paints a simple picture: a devoted person who gives time and heart and a fan who follows and cheers for someone. Imagine someone who goes to every game or concert and knows every song, so a devoted fan means a 'loyal' and 'very excited' supporter.
