Cultual

/ˈkʌltʃuəl/ adjective

Definition

Relating to or involving cultural practices, beliefs, or traditions.

Etymology

From culture (from Latin cultura, from colere, to cultivate) + -al (adjective suffix). This is a more formal alternative to 'cultural.'

Kelly Says

The word 'culture' comes from the same root as 'cultivate'—because a culture is basically what you get when you cultivate knowledge, beliefs, and practices over many generations.
