Morphology
The meaning 'an additional payment for duties beyond normal responsibilities' is transparently built from 'extra' (additional) + 'duty' (responsibility) + 'allowance' (amount of money given). This is a regular, compositional noun phrase pattern (payment for extra duties) that a B1 learner who knows the constituents can readily infer, and similar constructions exist in many languages.
Etymology
Extra duty allowance comes from a simple image: when someone does extra work or takes on another person's duty, they get an allowance, a small extra payment. So, it means 'an additional payment' for work 'beyond normal responsibilities'.
