From Medieval Latin cultiv?tus, perfect passive participle of cultiv? (“till, cultivate”), from cult?vus (“tilled”), from Latin cultus, perfect passive participle of col?

nursery
English
Etymology
From Middle English noricerie, norserye (“children's nursery; state of being fostered or nursed; education, upbringing”) [and other forms], from Old French norricerie, nourricerie, from norrice, nourrice (modern French nourrice (“childminder, nanny; wet nurse”)) + -erie (suffix forming feminine nouns). Norrice and nourrice are derived from Late Latin n?tr?cia (“wet nurse”), from Latin n?tr?cius (“that nurses or suckles; nourishing”), from n?tri? (“to breastfeed, nurse, suckle”), possibly ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *(s)neh?- (“to flow”). The English word may be analysed as nourice, nurse +? -ery (suffix forming nouns meaning ‘place of’).
