Latin

Etymology 1

From Proto-Italic *k?el?, from Proto-Indo-European *k?el- (“to move, to turn (around), to revolve around, and therefore to sojourn, to dwell”). The same root also gave in-quil-?nus (“inhabitant”) and anculus (“servant”).

Cognates include Ancient Greek ???? (pél?), ????? (pólos), ????? (téll?), ????? (télos), ???? (têle), ????? (pálai), ?????? (kúklos), Sanskrit ???? (cárati), English wheel.

Pronunciation

• (Classical) IPA^(key): /?ko.lo?/, [?k???o?]
• (Ecclesiastical) IPA^(key): /?ko.lo/, [?k??l?]

Verb

col? (present infinitive colere, perfect active colu?, supine cultum); third conjugation

1. I till, cultivate the land (literal)
2. I inhabit
3. I protect, nurture
4. (figuratively) I worship, honor

Usage notes

The words col? and excol? can be confused in usage. Their root being the Proto-Indo-European *k?el-, originally col? probably meant turning (plowing for cultivation) the soil, and by extension of inhabiting a place; by further extension, it adopted the senses of improving said habitation by cultivating the land and through the specific nurture of crops. While figurative senses of nurturing and improving are attributable to col?, they are more properly rendered by excol?, since nurture and improvement are the parts of the (literal) process of land cultivation "out of" (ex-) which springs excol?, rendering the figurative and universal sense of cultivating. This means col?/cultus/culti? can properly render cultivation strictly in the agricultural sense, while excol?/excultus/exculti? are for the senses of cultivation—improvement by means of effort or labor—in the general, non-agricultural sense.
