Morphology

positive + energy

The meaning is directly derivable from combining 'positive' (beneficial, favorable) with 'energy' (lively enthusiasm), so a B1 learner who knows both words can infer it refers to an optimistic, uplifting atmosphere or attitude. This is a compositional, commonly used phrase and has clear equivalents in many languages, making it easily understandable without prior exposure.

Etymology

Positive energy comes from a simple image: people give off energy like warmth or light, and when that energy is positive it feels friendly and calm. So, positive energy means a friendly, hopeful attitude or 'good mood' that helps others feel better.
