Morphology
tripperish + attitude
The compound is partially analyzable: 'attitude' is transparent and the suffix-like shape '-ish' signals 'somewhat like', so a learner could guess it means an attitude resembling a 'tripper'. However 'tripper' is not a clear, frequent lexical base here (and 'tripper' itself is ambiguous: traveller vs. drug-related 'trip'), and the coinage 'tripperish' is nonstandard, so the exact sense (light‑hearted, psychedelic, or travel‑oriented) is not reliably derivable by a B1 learner.
Etymology
Tripperish attitude may come from the picture of a happy traveller: a tripper on a short holiday who laughs, looks around and worries little, showing that attitude. So a tripperish attitude means a 'light-hearted' or 'carefree' way of behaving.
