Morphology
roseate + outlook
The adjective 'roseate' (meaning 'rosy' or 'optimistic') combined with 'outlook' (a general attitude or expectation) yields a straightforward compositional meaning of an optimistic perspective following standard adjective+noun semantics. Although 'roseate' is low-frequency and may be unfamiliar to many B1 learners, if they know the constituent meanings the overall sense is directly derivable.
Etymology
Roseate outlook may come from the picture of looking at the world through 'rose-coloured' glass, where everything seems warmer and nicer than it really is. So, roseate means 'rose-coloured' and outlook means 'view', which gives a clear image for being 'too hopeful' or unrealistically positive.
