Morphology

buzz + with + excitement

The phrase combines 'buzz' (to be full of bustling energy or noise) with the prepositional phrase 'with excitement' in a directly compositional way, so a learner who knows the constituent words can infer it means being full of lively energy or anticipation. The metaphorical use of 'buzz' is common and parallels constructions in many languages, making the overall meaning immediately accessible to a B1 learner.

Etymology

Buzzed with excitement gives the image of a place making a soft, busy noise like bees in a hive, where people talk and move quickly. Because buzzed suggests a humming sound and excitement is a strong feeling, the phrase now means 'filled with lively energy'.
