high-energy = high + energy (transparent) = high + energy

A straightforward compound whose meaning ('having a lot of energy; vigorous') follows directly from 'high' + 'energy' and is inferable by learners.

Etymology

High-energy is made of high and energy, and energy has the same root as energetic, coming from a Greek word meaning 'activity' or 'work'. So high-energy describes a person or event that is very active and full of power.
