Etymology
The word agricultural comes from the parts agri- meaning 'field', from Latin ager, and culture meaning 'to grow' or 'care for', as in the word cultivate. So, agricultural describes work or things about growing crops and looking after animals and fields, which is why it means 'connected with farming'.
