Morphology
The phrase is a straightforward combination of the intensifier 'totally' (completely/utterly) plus the adjective 'excited' (enthusiastic), so the meaning 'extremely enthusiastic' is directly derivable from the parts. This intensifier + adjective pattern is a common, cross-linguistic composition that a B1 learner who knows both words will readily understand.
Etymology
Totally excited puts totally meaning 'completely' before excited, creating a picture like a balloon filled to the top with happy energy about to pop. So, totally excited means being full of energy and 'very' eager.
