Morphology
absitively + posolutely
The expression is a playful blend/reduplication of 'absolutely' and 'positively', so a learner who recognises those base meanings can infer the emphatic sense 'absolutely and positively'. However, the form is nonstandard and partly nonce (one constituent is not a dictionary word) and relies on humorous phonetic alteration, so the connection is not fully conventional or entirely predictable.
Etymology
Absitively posolutely is a playful blend of absolutely and positively. People change the sounds to make it funny and stronger, so it is used to mean 'completely', 'definitely', or to give a firm 'no'.
