different between culter vs cutler

English

Noun

culter (plural culters)

1. Obsolete form of colter.

Anagrams

• Cutler, Lucret, cutler, reluct

Latin

Etymology

Uncertain. Explanations include:

• From a formation equivalent to Proto-Indo-European *(s)kolh?_/?-trom, from the root *(s)kelH- (“to cut”).
• From the root *(s)ker- (“to shear, cut off”) to a preform *kor-tro- which has undergone dissimilation */rtr/ > /ltr/.

Both of the above etymologies assume a change in the suffix *-trom (and in gender), which otherwise would yield Latin *-trum or *-crum.
