Morphology
posilutely + thrilled
The adjective 'thrilled' gives the core meaning (very excited) and the first element 'posilutely' behaves like an adverbial intensifier, but it is nonstandard and not a recognisable dictionary word. Because the expression relies on an unfamiliar nonce intensifier rather than a regular, decomposable morpheme, the meaning is inferable but not fully predictable from the parts, so it is partially transparent.
Etymology
The phrase posilutely thrilled comes from mixing the words 'positively' and 'absolutely' into the playful word posilutely, a made-up word that makes thrilled feel much stronger. So, it is used to mean 'extremely excited or happy'.
