Morphology

buzz + with + idea

The phrase is directly built from 'buzz' (to be full of energetic activity) + 'with ideas' (accompanied by ideas), so the overall meaning 'full of lively thoughts or creativity' is readily inferable from the constituents. The metaphor of 'buzzing' as lively activity is common and the composition follows a clear, productive English pattern, making it accessible to B1 learners who know the words.

Etymology

Buzzing with ideas comes from the image of a busy beehive. Just as buzzing bees are active and noisy, a mind full of ideas is lively and busy, so the phrase means 'full of lively thoughts'.
