This analytical linguistic conversation essentially is all about a way of life  and is predicated on the suffix “-ture” simply put, when the suffix, “-ture” is added at the end of the word cult or na, these partiCular words, become a noun. The stark reality is the suffix “-ture” was imported to the English language in the 16th century. The suffix, “-ture” originated in Latin and travelled to the English language via French. In fact, the suffixes “-ture” and “-sure”, share the same origin. The function of the suffix, “-ture”, is to form a noun that is, nominalise, whichever word it may be compounded with.  All things being equal the word nature is borrowed from the Old French nature and is derived from the Latin word natura, or "essential qualities, innate disposition", and in ancient times, literally meant "birth".  In ancient philosophy, natura is mostly used as the Latin translation of the Greek word physis (φύσις), which originally related to the intrinsic characteristics that plants, animals, and other features of the world develop of their own accord.  The more that I engage and navigate my thought processes I am enlightenmented   at the fact that this environment has created space to  ask the pertinent question Is the genesis of Culture and Nature and whether it is predicated on the "Theory borrowing" ?

An account of the pre-Socratic use of the concept of φύσις may be found in Naddaf, Gerard (2006) The Greek Concept of Nature, SUNY Press, and in Ducarme, Frédéric; Couvet, Denis (2020). "What does 'nature' mean?". Palgrave Communications. Springer Nature. 6 (14). doi:10.1057/s41599-020-0390-y.. The word φύσις, while first used in connection with a plant in Homer, occurs early in Greek philosophy, and in several senses. Generally, these senses match rather well the current senses in which the English word nature is used, as confirmed by Guthrie, W.K.C. Presocratic Tradition from Parmenides to Democritus (volume 2 of his History of Greek Philosophy), Cambridge UP, 1965.
