Morphology
Yesvember + spirit
The compound relies on a creative blend ('Yesvember' = 'yes' + 'November') plus 'spirit' (attitude), so its intended meaning — a month-long attitude of positivity — is partially derivable from the constituents. However, 'Yesvember' is a nonce, culture-specific coinage and requires recognizing the portmanteau and the promotional framing, so a B1 learner who simply knows the base words may not reliably infer the exact intended sense without exposure.
Etymology
Yesvember spirit comes from a simple image: people decide to say yes more often during November, trying new things and opening doors. One popular idea is that practising small yes choices all month builds a more positive, open mood. So, it means 'a positive, open attitude to new opportunities'.
