Q.33

RPSC AO 2014 MCQ (Single Correct) +3 −1

The word “Horticulture” is derived from —

“हॉर्टिकल्चर” शब्द किस भाषा से लिया गया है?

Latin लैटिन Greek ग्रीक Persian फारसी English अंग्रेजी

The word 'Horticulture' is derived from two Latin words: 'Hortus' meaning garden or enclosed ground, and 'Cultura' meaning cultivation or tending.
Hence, Horticulture literally means the cultivation of garden crops (fruits, vegetables, flowers, and ornamentals).
In general, agricultural words ending in '-culture' (Agriculture, Horticulture, Floriculture) originate from Latin, while words ending in '-logy' or '-nomy' (Agronomy, Pomology partially) originate from Greek.
Therefore, Horticulture is derived from Latin (Option 1).

'हॉर्टिकल्चर' (Horticulture / उद्यान विज्ञान) शब्द की व्युत्पत्ति लैटिन भाषा (Latin) के दो शब्दों से हुई है: 'Hortus' (जिसका अर्थ है उद्यान या बगीचा) तथा 'Cultura' (जिसका अर्थ है खेती या संवर्धन करना)।
इसका शाब्दिक अर्थ है 'उद्यान में उगाई जाने वाली फसलों की खेती करना'।
कृषि विज्ञान में जिन शब्दों के अंत में '-culture' आता है (जैसे Agriculture, Horticulture, Olericulture) वे लैटिन भाषा से लिए गए हैं, जबकि '-nomy' या '-logy' वाले शब्द प्रायः ग्रीक भाषा से होते हैं।
अतः 'हॉर्टिकल्चर' शब्द 'लैटिन' भाषा से व्युत्पन्न है (विकल्प 1)।
