Etymology
Romanian borrowed "cultură" from French "culture" in the 19th century, during the wave of Latinate and French vocabulary that reshaped modern Romanian. The word traces back to Latin "cultura," a noun built on "colere," meaning to till, tend, or inhabit. The sense shifted over time from tilling soil to tending the mind, giving the modern meaning of a society's shared customs and arts.
