Surface Forms
Morphology
The meaning 'experiencing a desire to take risks or try new and exciting things' is directly derivable from combining 'feel' (to experience) with 'adventurous' (eager to try new activities). The 'feeling + adjective' construction is a common, compositional pattern in English (and in many other languages), so a B1 learner who knows both words would readily understand this phrase.
Etymology
Feeling adventurous comes from the idea of going on an adventure — imagine leaving home with a small bag to explore places you do not know. So when you are feeling adventurous, you 'want to try something new or risky'.
