Morphology
The meaning is directly and transparently derived from combining 'cultural' (relating to a society's customs and arts) with 'heritage' (traditions and practices passed down), so a learner who knows both words can readily infer the compound meaning. This is a common, compositional noun phrase cross-linguistically and follows expected English noun-modifier patterns, making it immediately comprehensible to B1 learners.
Etymology
Cultural heritage brings to mind a family treasure chest of old objects, songs and customs that are 'passed down' through generations. So cultural heritage means the shared 'traditions' and things a group keeps and shares over time.
