The Latin word 'cultus' that comes from the English word 'cult' IS TOTALLY different from the word 'cultivate'. Cultivate means "to nourish something" and 'cult' means "to vernerate or worship" someone. WE Christians AREN'T of the 'cult' or 'occult' so ALL is good.

Yes, the word "cultivate" is derived from the Latin word "cultus," meaning "to cultivate." "Cultivate" generally means to prepare and work on land in order to grow crops, but it can also be used metaphorically to mean developing or improving something.
