Anagrams[edit]
Latin[edit]
Etymology[edit]
Uncertain. Explanations include:[1]
- From a formation equivalent to Proto-Indo-European *(s)kolh₂/₃-trom, from the root *(s)kelH- (“to cut”).
- From the root *(s)ker- (“to shear, cut off”) to a preform *kor-tro- which has undergone dissimilation */rtr/ > /ltr/.
Both of the above etymologies assume a change in the suffix *-trom (and in gender), which otherwise would yield Latin *-trum or *-crum.
Pronunciation[edit]
- (Classical) IPA(key): /ˈkul.ter/, [ˈkʊɫ̪t̪ɛr]
- (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): /ˈkul.ter/, [ˈkul̪t̪er]
