Morphology
extreme + right-winger
The phrase is compositionally built from 'extreme' (very) modifying 'right-winger' (a person who holds right-wing/conservative political views), so its overall meaning 'a person with very conservative views' is directly predictable from the parts. This modifier+noun pattern is a regular, cross-linguistically common construction, so a B1 learner who knows the constituent words would readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
The phrase extreme right-winger comes from the image of a meeting room where people sat by their views: the most conservative sat on the far right or in the wing at the side, and those at the end were called extreme. So, an extreme right-winger is 'a person with very conservative views who strongly opposes new ideas'.
