Thesaurus & Semantic Spectrum

Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

The term combines 'cultural', deriving from the Latin 'cultura' meaning cultivation or care, with 'item', from the Latin adverb 'item' meaning likewise or also, later evolving to denote an individual article or unit. Together in modern sociological and anthropological contexts, the compound phrase emerged in the 20th century to describe tangible or intangible units of human heritage and social practice.
