Usage notes
edit

The words colō and excolō can be confused in usage. Their root being the Proto-Indo-European *kʷel-, originally colō probably meant turning (plowing for cultivation) the soil, and by extension of inhabiting a place; by further extension, it adopted the senses of improving said habitation by cultivating the land and through the specific nurture of crops. While figurative senses of nurturing and improving are attributable to colō, they are more properly rendered by excolō, since nurture and improvement are the parts of the (literal) process of land cultivation "out of" (ex-) which springs excolō, rendering the figurative and universal sense of cultivating. This means colō/cultus/cultiō can properly render cultivation strictly in the agricultural sense, while excolō/excultus/excultiō are for the senses of cultivation—improvement by means of effort or labor—in the general, non-agricultural sense.
