    According to the dictionary, the term uncultivated might also be used to describe someone who is: lacking in education or refinement, growing or developing without care, or not developed by training or effort. It was believed back then that woman should be educated to be companions. So, it's not about their lacking of culture, nor how natural they are or if they are shunned by society. It is about if they're disciplined to be a man's companion. And if they're not, they might be seen as wild and unpolished.
