Morphology
The meaning is directly and compositionally derived from 'menstrual' (relating to the monthly menstruation) plus 'cycle' (a repeating sequence), so a learner who knows both words can infer it refers to the monthly biological sequence. This adjective+noun composition is cross-linguistically common (e.g., Spanish 'ciclo menstrual') and follows a standard semantic pattern, making it transparent to B1 learners who know the constituents.
Etymology
The term menstrual cycle comes from old words where menstrual meant 'month' and cycle meant 'circle'. It describes the monthly changes, including bleeding, that prepare the body for a possible pregnancy, so the name explains the repeating monthly process.
