Morphology
The phrase 'cultural reasons' is a straightforward adjective + noun composition where 'cultural' (relating to customs/beliefs) directly modifies 'reasons' (motives), so the meaning 'reasons based on culture' is immediately derivable from the constituents. This compositional pattern is cross-linguistically common and follows standard English syntax, making it readily understandable to a B1 learner who knows both words.
Etymology
Cultural reasons come from the simple idea that people do things because of the shared ways of their group. Imagine a family wearing the same clothes at a festival because of the group's traditions — those are the cultural 'reasons', so cultural reasons means the reasons that come from a group's beliefs and customs.
