Morphology

multiculti + heritage

The element 'heritage' is fully transparent, and 'multiculti' can be parsed as a colloquial/clipped form of 'multicultural' (multi- + cult(ure)), so the overall meaning 'heritage marked by multiple cultures' is inferable from the parts. However, 'multiculti' is informal and not a regular lexical composition, so recognition depends on familiarity with the clipping; this makes the expression only partially predictable for a B1 learner.

Etymology

Multiculti heritage combines multi ('many') and culti (from 'culture') with heritage ('family traditions'). Imagine a family album full of different flags, foods, and songs mixed together, and that's why it means a cultural identity made from many backgrounds.
