Morphology
The meaning 'a hollow space in the shape of a tube' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'tubular' (cylindrical/hollow) with 'cavity' (a hollow space). This simple adjective + noun composition follows common English and cross-linguistic patterns, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand it.
Etymology
Tubular cavity describes a long tubular tube-shaped cavity, like a straw or small tunnel inside a plant or the body that lets liquid flow. So when someone says tubular cavity, they mean a tube-like 'hollow' space where liquids or small objects can pass.
