Morphology
The meaning is directly built from 'sexual' (pertaining to sex) + 'health' (state of well‑being), so a B1 learner who knows both words will infer it refers to health or well‑being related to sexuality. While the full technical definition emphasizes emotional, mental and social aspects beyond absence of disease, the core idea 'health concerning sexual matters' is transparently derivable from the constituents.
Etymology
Sexual health puts together sexual (about sex and relationships) and health (being well). It means that 'well-being' in sexual life includes your body, your feelings and your relationships, so the phrase is about caring for all these parts, not just avoiding illness.
