Morphology

ethnocultural = cultural (transparent) = ethno + culture + al

Formed by the combining form 'ethno-' (relating to ethnicity) attached to 'cultural' (culture + -al); the meaning directly follows from the parts.

Etymology

The word ethnocultural combines ethno- meaning 'people' or 'group', as in ethnic, and culture meaning 'shared customs and ideas'. So ethnocultural describes things that belong to both a people's ethnic identity and their culture.
