Morphology
kicks + up + excitement
The particle 'up' clearly signals an increase and a learner who knows 'excitement' and the function of 'up' may infer 'to increase excitement.' However, 'kick' here is a metaphorical causative use (compare 'kick up a fuss' or 'kick off') rather than its literal sense, so the meaning is only partially predictable without prior exposure.
Etymology
Kick up excitement comes from the image of someone giving a quick kick to the ground so dust or leaves fly up, catching people's eyes. So the phrase means 'to make people excited'.
