cultural
UK: ˈkʌltʃərəl | US: ˈkʌltʃərəl
adj. relating to the ideas, customs, and social behavior of a society
adj. involving or appreciating the arts and intellectual achievements
The word "cultural" derives from the Latin cultura, meaning "cultivation" or "tending," which itself comes from colere ("to till, cultivate"). Over time, cultura expanded metaphorically to include intellectual and artistic refinement. The suffix -al (from Latin -alis) transforms nouns into adjectives, giving "cultural" its modern meaning of "pertaining to cultivated knowledge or societal practices." This reflects the historical link between agriculture (literal cultivation) and the development of human civilization (metaphorical cultivation).
