Morphology

zingingly + fun

The phrase is compositionally built from a root meaning ‘zing’ (lively, sharp) with an adverbial suffix and the noun ‘fun’, so the sense ‘lively/energetic fun’ is partly inferable from the parts. However, 'zingingly' is a rare/informal formation (not in the dictionary provided) and the root 'zing' is slangy, so a B1 learner who only knows the literal constituents would not reliably infer the exact intensifying, idiomatic flavour.

Etymology

The adjective zingingly fun may come from the short word zing, which copies a sharp, bright sound or a quick, exciting movement. So when something is zingingly fun, think of a little spark or quick zing that fills the moment with energy and surprise, which is why it means 'extremely lively and exciting'.
