Morphology

pure + Yumpsville

Although 'pure' is a transparent intensifier, 'Yumpsville' is a nonce/proper-name-like item with no dictionary meaning, so a learner who only knows the constituents cannot derive 'extremely enjoyable or fun' from them. The phrase is a creative coinage whose positive meaning depends on contextual or cultural knowledge rather than compositional semantics, making it unpredictable for B1 learners.

Etymology

Pure Yumpsville may come from a playful image of a whole town called Yumpsville where people yump, a silly way to say 'jump', with joy. So, it now means 'a place or event that is extremely enjoyable'.
