Morphology
riproarious + success
One constituent, 'riproarious', is not an attested English word and has no documented meaning, so a learner who only knows 'success' cannot compositionally derive the phrase's sense. Because the expression contains a nonce/unknown element and lacks a clear morphological or cross-linguistic basis, its overall meaning is unpredictable for a B1 learner.
Etymology
Riproarious success likely comes from the words riotous and uproarious, which paint a picture of a crowd that roars and cheers loudly. That's why it means 'a very lively success that people celebrate loudly'.
