Etymology
闘志 (tōshi) combines 闘 (tō, meaning 'fight') and 志 (shi, meaning 'will or spirit'); 湧いてくる (waite kuru) is the te-form of 湧く (waku, meaning 'to well up') plus the directional auxiliary verb くる (kuru, meaning 'to come), indicating a rising feeling that emerges spontaneously. The んです (n desu) ending adds explanatory emphasis.
Memory Aid
Break down the phrase: 闘志 = fighting will, 湧いてくる = welling up. Think of the phrase as 'fighting will wells up' to remember the meaning.
