It implies a higher degree of unsuitability for agricultural activities compared to previously assessed or comparatively less uncultivable areas.
The adjective "more" in this context indicates a greater severity or extent of unfavourable characteristics that hinder agricultural productivity. Factors such as poor soil quality, lack of moisture or irrigation, excessive salinity, rockiness, steep slopes, or excessive erosion can contribute to lands becoming progressively more uncultivable. These conditions may limit or impede the ability of farmers or agricultural workers to effectively use such areas for cultivation, either due to the inability of plants to establish or thrive, or the arduous and costly efforts required to make the land sufficiently productive.
The term "uncultivable" refers to land that is not suitable or appropriate for agricultural purposes. It suggests that the land is inhospitable or presents significant obstacles for successful cultivation. Thus, "more uncultivable" implies an increment in the difficulties and limitations faced in the process of transforming or utilizing the land for agricultural activities.
Overall, the phrase "more uncultivable" denotes an increasing degree of unsuitability or challenging conditions that hinder or make it more arduous for crops or plants to be cultivated successfully.
The word "uncultivable" is derived from the combination of the prefix "un-" meaning "not" or "lack of" and the adjective "cultivable". "Cultivable" itself is derived from the noun "cultivate", which comes from the Latin word "cultivare", meaning "to till or cultivate".
The word "more" in the phrase "more uncultivable" is not part of the etymology itself as it is simply an adverb used to modify the adjective "uncultivable", indicating a comparative degree of lack of cultivability.
