All religions are cults to one degree or another, hence the word culture.

All buses are used to one degree or another, hence the word use.

I'd hate to see your take on the etymology of "Schwarzenegger."

Hey dummy, where do you think the word cult comes fromWord Origin & History cult 1617, "worship," also "a particular form of worship," from Fr. culte, from L. cultus "care, cultivation, worship," originally "tended, cultivated," pp. of colere "to till" (see colony). Rare after 17c.; revived mid-19c. with reference to ancient or primitive rituals. Meaning "devotion to a person or thing" is from 1829. Origin: 1400–50; late ME: tilling, place tilled (< AF) < L cultūra. See cult, -ure
