Morphology
The phrase is a straightforward adjective + noun composition where 'positive' (favorable) directly modifies 'outcome' (result), so the overall meaning 'a favorable result' is transparently derived from the constituents. This compositional pattern is common across languages and follows standard English grammar, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily understand it.
Etymology
Positive outcome joins positive (good) and outcome (what comes out at the end). Think of planting a seed and getting a healthy plant: the plant is the outcome, and because it is good it is a positive outcome, so the phrase means 'a good result'.
