Cultured meat doesn’t mean that the chunk of protein likes classical music and visits museums of contemporary art. Rather, the meat cells have been cultured – or grown – in a petri dish rather than an animal’s womb.

The Hebrew term is בשר מתורבת,

 as in:

בשר מתורבת יכול לייתר שחיטת בהמות.

Cultured meat can eliminate the slaughter of animals.

בשר

means meat, but why מתורבת?

It comes from the word for culture – תרבות

– which itself comes from the root ר.ב.י

meaning great in size (as in רב

 – rabbi, someone great in Torah knowledge): something “cultured” grows in size.
