Surface Forms
Morphology
cultural = culture (opaque) = culture + al
Although 'cultural' is formally culture + -al, this agricultural sense depends on an older meaning of 'culture' ('cultivation'), so modern learners are unlikely to recover it transparently.
Etymology
The word cultural comes from an old Latin word cultura, from colere which means 'to cultivate' or 'to care for the land'. So when cultural describes farming it means related to how people 'grow' or raise plants and animals, just like in agriculture and cultivate.
