Morphology

jazzed + up

The sense 'feeling excited or energized' is directly derivable from combining 'jazzed' (enthusiastically excited) with 'up' (which here functions as an intensifier/raising of intensity). This particle+adjective compositional pattern is common and predictable, so a learner who knows both constituents would readily infer the MWE meaning.

Etymology

Jazzed up may come from the lively sound of jazz making people feel more ready and happy, with up showing an increase in feeling. If a band plays fast music you feel full of energy and are jazzed up. That's why it means 'excited' today.
