Morphology

multicultist + community

The meaning 'a group that advocates for or supports cultural diversity' is directly compositional from 'multicultist' (someone who values/promotes diverse cultures) + 'community' (a group of people). This is a straightforward, non-idiomatic noun phrase following common compounding and modifier+head patterns, so a B1 learner who knows the constituents can readily infer the meaning.

Etymology

Multicultist community comes from the idea of people who support many cultures: the parts multi means 'many', culture means 'ways of life', and -ist means 'a supporter'. That's why it now means 'a group that supports cultural diversity'.
