Morphology

good + vibe

The meaning 'a positive feeling or atmosphere' is directly and compositionally derived from combining 'good' (positive) with 'vibe' (sensed mood or atmosphere). Although 'vibe' is somewhat informal/slangy, its core meaning corresponds to 'atmosphere' or 'feeling' in many languages, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily infer the MWE's meaning.

Etymology

Good vibe comes from the word vibe, which people began using from the idea of a 'vibration' — a small energy or feeling you can sense from a person or place. So when someone or a room sends a pleasant 'vibration', we call it a good vibe, meaning a positive feeling or friendly atmosphere.
