cultured positive

Morphology

cultured = culture (transparent) = culture + ed

Standard past-participle/adjectival formation from the verb 'to culture', meaning 'grown or maintained in a culture', which is directly derivable.

Etymology

Cultured in biology keeps the simple idea of cultivate meaning 'to grow' or 'to care for'. So cultured cells or bacteria are those that scientists have grown in a lab dish rather than inside a living body.
