The word “cultus” refers to a system of religious worship, particularly characterized by rituals, ceremonies, or practices devoted to a deity or a particular set of beliefs. It can also denote the cultivation of certain practices or cultural expressions within a society. In a broader sense, it may be used to describe the veneration or reverence associated with particular figures, ideas, or cultural traditions. The term is derived from Latin, where it is related to the concept of cultivation and care, especially in a religious context.
