Morphology
The meaning 'the history of a society's cultural practices, beliefs, arts, and customs' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'cultural' (relating to culture) with 'history' (study or account of the past). This adjective+noun compositional pattern is regular and cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Cultural history is like reading a town's old songs, festivals and paintings to see how people lived. The phrase joins cultural, meaning people's ways, art and beliefs, and history, meaning the story of the past, so it means 'the past story of a society's ways and traditions'.
