Morphology
The phrase is compositionally built: 'dirty' (lewd/sexual) modifies 'weekend getaway' (a short trip), so a learner who knows those constituents can readily infer a brief trip taken for sexual or secretive purposes. This adjective + noun composition follows regular English patterns and has clear cross-linguistic parallels, making the overall meaning accessible to a B1 learner.
Etymology
Dirty weekend getaway puts dirty, which means 'naughty' or 'secret', together with weekend and getaway, words for a short trip. It creates the picture of two people sneaking away for a short private trip for romantic or sexual reasons, so the phrase now means a short secret trip for those purposes.
