Morphology
Both constituents contribute transparently: 'quantitative' specifies numerical or measurable aspects and 'relation' denotes a connection, so the phrase simply denotes a connection expressed in numerical/measurable terms. This compositional pattern is common across languages (e.g. Spanish 'relación cuantitativa') and follows standard adjective + noun formation, making it easily understandable to a B1 learner who knows the words.
Etymology
Quantitative relation comes from a simple image: imagine two jars of water joined by a tube so that changing one level changes the other. quantitative means 'about amounts' and relation means 'a connection', so the phrase describes a clear, measured link between numbers or amounts.
