Morphology
The meaning 'an optimistic and constructive way of thinking' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'positive' (optimistic/affirming) with 'attitude' (habitual way of thinking). This adjectival + noun composition is common across languages and follows standard semantic combination patterns, so a B1 learner who knows both words would readily infer the phrase's meaning.
Etymology
Positive attitude paints a simple image: positive is like a plus sign or a smile, and attitude is the way you stand and face things. So it means 'optimistic' and ready to look for good solutions.
