Morphology

sadospiritual + side

The phrase is compositionally built from elements meaning something like ‘sado’ (relating to sadism) + ‘spiritual’ + ‘side’, so the overall sense — an aspect combining sadistic and spiritual tendencies — can be inferred from the parts. However, 'sadospiritual' is a nonstandard, nonce blend and the 'sado-' element may be unfamiliar or ambiguous to a B1 learner, so the meaning is only partially predictable rather than fully transparent.

Etymology

Sadospiritual side puts together sado from the word 'sadism' and spiritual, creating the image of a person who explores inner meaning through strict rituals or controlled pain. So, it means 'a personal part that mixes elements of sadism and spiritual practice'.
