Morphology
absotively + sure
The adjective 'sure' is fully transparent, and the adverb 'absotively' is a nonstandard playful blend resembling 'absolutely'/'positively', so the overall meaning 'completely certain' can be inferred by analogy to standard adverb+adjective patterns. However 'absotively' is not a lexical item and requires recognizing the nonce formation, so comprehension is likely but not guaranteed for an average B1 learner.
Etymology
Absotively sure likely comes from a playful mix of the words absolutely and positively, made to sound stronger and a bit funny. Saying absotively sure feels like saying both words at once, so it is used to mean 'completely certain' or 'absolutely sure'.
