cultured
Sophisticated and educated
Cultured describes someone refined through education and exposure to arts, literature, and sophisticated society: a cultured woman who spoke four languages.
The word suggests polish and worldliness.
In biology, cultured means grown in a laboratory medium: cultured cells, cultured pearls—pearls cultivated by introducing an irritant into an oyster rather than forming naturally.
