Morphology

energy + level

The sense 'general atmosphere, mood, or liveliness' is directly and predictably built from 'energy' (vigor, liveliness) plus 'level' (amount or degree), so a learner who knows both words can infer this compositional meaning. The construction 'X level' meaning the amount/degree of X is a common, cross-linguistic pattern and thus readily accessible to a B1 learner.

Etymology

Energy level is like a fuel gauge or battery showing how much energy you have at one time. So, when we say someone has a 'high' or 'low' energy level, we mean they have a lot or a little physical or mental power right now.
