What does KULTUR mean in Scrabble?
noun
historical
The German word for culture, used in English for German civilization and its values, often with a note of irony or disapproval.
In German the word simply means culture, but English borrowed it during the First World War, when it was often used mockingly for the claims of the German empire to cultural superiority. Since then writers have used kultur to suggest an official, self-satisfied idea of culture that is pressed on others. In a neutral setting the word is mostly met in historical studies and in the titles of German-language works.
