Etymology
1. Borrowed from Latin cultus (“worship, cultivation, care”), perhaps mediated by German Kult (“cult”) or French culte (“cult”). The Latin noun is a substantivized form of the perfect passive participle cultus (“cultivated, tended, worshipped”) of colō (“to cultivate, tend, inhabit, worship”).
2. Compare Danish kult, Swedish kult, German Kult, French culte, and English cult. Doublet of kultus (“cult, worship”) See: Latin Nouns '
cultus', Danish Nouns '
kult', Swedish Nouns '
