I'm exploring some big words right now: purpose, strengths, hope. My definitions are definitely changing as I dig in a bit deeper and take time to think a bit more.
It's quite exciting actually.
So here is the word I researched using the generic online dictionary called Google.
CURATE
Origin: Middle English: from medieval Latin curatus, from Latin cura ‘care’.
CURATE (VERB)
- select, organize, and look after the items in (a collection or exhibition)
- select the performers or performances that will feature in (an arts event or programme)
- select, organize, and present (online content, merchandise, information, etc.), typically using professional or expert knowledge.
But I prefer this definition of the verb which I found on www.oxfordlearnerdictionaries.com
- to select, organize and look after the objects or works of art in a museum or an art gallery, etc.
- to collect, select and present information or items such as pictures, video, music, etc. for people to use or enjoy, using your professional or expert knowledge
Purpose. Strengths. Hope.
A curator. Looking after the objects and works of art, collecting, selecting and presenting information or items for people to use and enjoy. Using MY professional or expert knowledge.
Lekker word, curate!
