What does INCULT mean in Scrabble?
adjective
archaicliteraryrare
Uncultivated, rough, or lacking refinement.
Incult can describe literal land left untilled and wild, or by extension a manner, style, or person seen as rude and unpolished. It comes straight from the Latin for uncultivated, the same root behind culture and cultivate, simply carrying the negative prefix in front. The word has largely dropped out of everyday English and now survives mainly in older or deliberately formal writing about landscape or manners.
