Morphology

Kurux + language

The meaning is directly and transparently derived from combining 'Kurux' (a named language or ethnonym) with 'language' (a system of communication), so it straightforwardly refers to the language called Kurux. This naming pattern is cross-linguistically common and follows normal English noun-noun composition, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will understand the MWE.

Etymology

Kurux language takes its name from the Kurukh people who speak it, so it literally means 'the language of the Kurukh people'. It is a Dravidian language spoken mainly in eastern India.
