Morphology
The meaning 'an optimistic forecast' is directly compositional from 'rosy' (hopeful/positive) + 'prediction' (forecast), so a B1 learner who knows both words can infer the basic sense. While the subtle nuance that it may be unduly optimistic might require exposure, the core meaning is transparent and follows a common adjective+noun pattern cross-linguistically.
Etymology
Rosy prediction comes from the word rosy, which suggests a pink, healthy view, and prediction, a guess about the future. So a rosy prediction paints a bright picture of what will happen, and that's why it means 'an optimistic forecast', sometimes 'too hopeful'.
