What does výběr mean here, and what kind of word is it?

Here výběr means withdrawal, specifically a cash withdrawal.

It is a noun, not a verb. It comes from the verb vybrat / vybírat, meaning to choose, to pick out, to withdraw depending on context.

So in this sentence:

• výběr = withdrawal
• výběr hotovosti = withdrawal of cash / cash withdrawal

A useful thing to know is that výběr can also mean selection in other contexts, so the surrounding words matter.

Why is it hotovosti and not hotovost?

Because výběr usually takes the genitive case.

The basic noun is:

• hotovost = cash

But after výběr it becomes:

• výběr hotovosti = withdrawal of cash

So hotovosti is the genitive singular form of hotovost.

This is very common in Czech: one noun is followed by another noun in the genitive to show a relationship.

Compare:

• výběr peněz = withdrawal of money
• sklenice vody = a glass of water
• cena jídla = the price of the food
