sculpture: [14] Latin sculpere meant ‘carve, scratch’ (it was a variant of scalpere, from which English gets scalpel [18]). From is past participle sculptus was formed the noun sculptūra, acquired by English as sculpture. The agent noun sculptor [17] also comes from Latin, while the verb sculpt [19] was borrowed from French sculpter.
