Morphology

absitively + delighted

The meaning is directly built from an adverb that means "absolutely/emphatically" modifying the adjective "delighted", yielding "extremely pleased" in a straightforward adverb + adjective composition. This follows a common, cross-linguistic grammatical pattern, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents can derive the overall meaning despite the adverb being informal or rare.

Etymology

Absitively delighted comes from people playfully mixing the words absolutely and positively into absitively to sound extra excited. That's why it means 'extremely pleased'.
