Morphology

fansite = fan + site (transparent) = fan + site

The meaning is directly derived from the clear combination of 'fan' + 'site' meaning a website made by/for fans.

Etymology

Fansite is a simple combination of fan and site; fan is short for the word 'fanatic', meaning a very enthusiastic person, and site means a 'place'. So a fansite is literally the fans' place on the web, a website where fans share news, photos, and talk about a person or topic.
