Etymology
Culture in a lab sense also comes from colere and the idea of cultivate, meaning 'to grow' or 'to care for'. Scientists use it for a 'grown' sample of microorganisms because they 'grow' these tiny life forms in a dish like a little garden. So a laboratory culture is where microbes are grown for study.
