Morphology
The meaning of 'spiritual world' is directly compositional from 'spiritual' (relating to immaterial, religious, or soul matters) + 'world' (a realm or plane), so a learner who knows both words can infer it refers to a realm of spirits or non-physical beings. This adjective+noun pattern is cross-linguistically common and follows standard English composition, making the phrase immediately comprehensible to a B1 learner.
Etymology
Spiritual world comes from the simple image of a separate world where spiritual beings live, hidden from our everyday physical world. So it means a place of 'spirits' or divine beings that is not part of ordinary life.
