Morphology

symbol + of + cultural + diversity

The phrase is compositionally built from clearly interpretable parts: 'symbol' (a sign that stands for something) + 'of' (denoting relation) + 'cultural diversity' (the inclusion of multiple cultures). A B1 learner who knows these constituents can readily infer that it refers to something that represents the presence of multiple distinct cultures; the construction is common cross-linguistically and follows standard noun-of-noun composition.

Etymology

Symbol of cultural diversity may come from everyday images like a picture made of many small tiles or a festival where different foods, clothes, and music meet. These images show how one symbol can 'stand for' many different cultures, so the phrase symbol of cultural diversity is used for something that shows 'many different cultures' together.
