Morphology
The meaning 'a brief period filled with affection or pleasure' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'sweet' (pleasant, charming) with 'moment' (a short interval). This simple adjective + noun composition follows standard, cross-linguistically common patterns and involves no idiomatic shift, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily understand it.
Etymology
The phrase sweet moment comes from the image of sweet (a small tasty treat that makes you smile) and moment (a very short time). So a sweet moment means a 'brief' and 'cherished' time that makes you happy.
