Surface Forms
Morphology
The meaning 'a person who is passionate about music' is directly and compositionally derived from 'music' (the domain) combined with 'enthusiast' (a person with strong interest). This is a productive, cross-linguistically common noun + noun/nominal modification pattern in English, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Music enthusiast joins music and enthusiast: picture someone at a concert, eyes bright, collecting records and always talking about songs. 'Enthusiast' means a person full of excitement, so music enthusiast simply means 'a person who is passionate about music'.
