Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'adventurous' (eager to try new things) modifies 'spirit' (character or disposition), so a learner who knows both words can infer it refers to a disposition inclined to risk-taking and new experiences. This adjective+noun pattern is common and predictable across languages, making the phrase immediately understandable to B1 learners.
Etymology
Adventurous spirit gives the image of a lively inner force inside a person. Here adventurous means ready to try new things and spirit means that inner energy, so having an adventurous spirit 'means being willing to take risks and seek new experiences'.
