Morphology

breezy + attitude

The adjective 'breezy' means relaxed, cheerful, or easygoing and 'attitude' means a habitual way of thinking or manner; combining them yields the meaning 'a relaxed, cheerful, unconcerned manner' in a straightforward, compositional way. This is a predictable adjective+noun combination that a B1 learner who knows both words would readily understand.

Etymology

Breezy attitude may come from the image of a light wind, a 'breeze', that makes things feel easy and fresh. Someone with a breezy attitude seems lifted and calm, so the phrase means being 'relaxed' and 'cheerful' rather than worried.
