The word "cultured" originates from the Latin word "cultura," meaning "cultivation" or "tilling." This concept of tending to something, whether it be land or knowledge, evolved to mean the refinement and development of the mind and character. By the 16th century, "cultured" began to be used in English to describe someone with a refined taste and appreciation for the arts, literature, and knowledge. This sense of "cultivated" intellect and sophistication is still the primary meaning of the word today.
