Morphology
The meaning of 'sexual immorality' is directly derivable from combining 'sexual' (pertaining to sex) with 'immorality' (behavior considered wrong); together they denote sexual behavior judged immoral. This adjective+noun composition and the concept of moral judgment are cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand the phrase.
Etymology
Sexual immorality comes from older religious and social rules that called certain sexual acts 'immoral' or 'wrong'. Because sexual points to sex and immorality means 'bad or wrong behavior', the phrase now means 'sexual behavior that people see as wrong'.
