Morphology
trip + out
The verb 'trip' (to hallucinate) plus the particle 'out' yield a metaphorical extension meaning to become overwhelmed, emotionally unbalanced, or freak out; a learner who knows the drug-related sense of 'trip' and the intensifying role of 'out' can partly infer this. However, the sense is informal, slangy and broader than literal hallucination (covers emotional/irrational reactions), so the exact meaning and pragmatic register are not fully predictable to a B1 learner without exposure.
Etymology
Trip out also uses the simple picture of someone literally tripping and losing balance, with out showing they fall outside their calm self. That's why it came to mean 'to lose control emotionally' or 'to become very excited'.
