The word culture is derived from the Latin verb colere, till the soil. But colere also has a wider range of meanings. It may, like civis, mean inhabiting a town or village. But most of its definitions sugguest a process of starting and promoting growth and develpment. One may cultivate a garden; one may also cultivate one's interests, mind, and abilities.本回答被网友采纳
