The actual answer is that "difficult" comes from "difficulty," which is itself from the French "difficulté." "Cult" is a direct shortening of the Latin "cultus."

If you ever really want to look at word origins, the Online Etymology Dictionary is great: https://www.etymonline.com/word/cult#etymonline_v_450
