Repost from DeeFeeCee on Reddit:

---- Kill derives from the ME cüllen while cull derives from the ME cullen. You'd think they'd derive from a common root, but surprisingly not!

Kill comes from the senses "hit, strike, throw (at), beat, cut, knock down" while cull's origins are more of the sense "gather, pick, get rid of". ----

I have never like the world cull, it always seemed too withdrawm to me. It has seemed to me to have a non-responsible/less truthfull/desensitising vibe to it.

Do you say cull or kill when you are knocking down the animal you have picked? 😁 #homestead #iamakiller #youareakiller #weareallkillers #asknostr
