Morphology
blend + of + tradition + and + modernity
The meaning is directly and transparently built from the constituent words: 'blend' (a combination) + 'of'/'and' linking elements + 'tradition' and 'modernity' as the combined components, so the overall sense of a harmonious combination is immediately derivable. This compositional pattern is common across languages and follows normal noun phrase semantics, so a B1 learner who knows the individual words will readily understand the MWE.
Etymology
Blend of tradition and modernity may come from the picture of a cook or artist who mixes old family methods (tradition) with new tools or styles (modernity). That's why it means 'a good mix of old customs and new ideas'.
