Morphology
proud + munter
The meaning is directly compositional: 'proud' (feeling pride) combined with 'munter' (an unattractive person) yields someone who is proud despite being considered unattractive. This straightforward adjective+noun logic (being proud of an attribute) is cross-linguistically common and would be predictable to a B1 learner who knows both constituents.
Etymology
The term proud munter comes from people taking the slang word munter, meaning someone seen as 'not attractive', and adding proud to show they are happy with themselves. That's why proud munter means a person who openly accepts being judged for their looks and does not mind being called that.
