Morphology

curebie + community

One constituent ('curebie') is not a dictionary word but appears to be formed from the familiar root 'cure', and 'community' is fully transparent, so a B1 learner who knows 'cure' and 'community' could infer it denotes a group concerned with cures or healing. However, 'curebie' is a nonce/label with culture-specific connotations (often alternative/remedial activism) that are not fully predictable from the parts, so the expression requires some prior exposure to grasp precise meaning.

Etymology

Curebie community probably comes from putting cure, meaning a remedy, together with a friendly -bie ending to name people who love or share home remedies. So, it now means a group that shares 'alternative' health ideas outside normal medicine online.
