单词	cultus
释义	cultus /ˈkʌltəs / noun technical A system or variety of religious worship.Mohammed is noted to have hated onions and garlic, and as he was purported to revamp the calendar to a lunar one, we remark that in the cultus of vegetation, worship was paid to onions and garlic, because of their shape, as emblems of the Sun.... But nevertheless, we note that the new cultus was threatening to eliminate the profitable pilgrimages to the pagan shrine. Perhaps there is also a reference here to the ‘heave-offering’ of the ancient sacrificial cultus. Origin Mid 19th century: Latin (see cult).
