Morphology
The meaning is directly derived from combining 'endless' (continuing without end) with 'optimism' (belief in favorable outcomes); the adjective simply indicates persistent or unwavering positivity. This straightforward adjective–noun composition is common across languages and would be understandable to a B1 learner who knows both constituent words.
Etymology
Endless optimism paints a clear image: endless is like a road that never stops and optimism is like a light or belief in good things. Imagine a light that keeps shining in a long, dark tunnel, so endless optimism means 'never-ending hope' and 'always being positive'.
