escultura

/eskulˈtuɾa/ · B2 · noun · f

sculpture

escultura — sculpture

🗿 escultura = es + CULT + ura: a CULTured art you chisel out of stone

From Latin sculptura, from sculpere 'to carve'. Hear the middle chunk 'cult' as in cultured: sculpture is a refined art form. Spanish adds an initial e- before s-clusters, so sculptura became escultura.
