Morphology

adventurous + trip

The meaning 'a journey involving exciting experiences or risk' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'adventurous' (eager to try new and thrilling activities) with 'trip' (a journey). This is a straightforward compositional phrase following normal adjective + noun semantics and is cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE's meaning.

Etymology

The phrase adventurous trip paints a picture of people leaving the safe path to explore unknown places and face small risks. Here adventurous means daring and trip means a journey, so the expression now means 'a journey with excitement and some risk'.
