'culture-based' originates from the combination of 'culture' and 'based', where 'culture' refers to the customs, arts, social institutions, and achievements of a particular nation, people, or other social group, and 'based' implies being founded or grounded on something.

'Culture' comes from the Latin word 'cultura', meaning 'cultivation', and 'based' is derived from the Old French 'basse', meaning 'foundation'.

Initially, 'culture' referred to the cultivation of land, but over time it evolved to encompass the cultivation of human intellect and society.
