Etymology

The word "culturally" derives from "culture," which originates from the Latin cultura (meaning "cultivation, care"), itself from colere ("to till, tend"). The suffix "-al" transforms it into an adjective ("relating to culture"), and "-ly" further converts it into an adverb. The term reflects the evolution from agricultural cultivation to the metaphorical "cultivation" of societal customs and arts.
