| 释义 | agrestic (once / 622069 pages) adj Agrestic has to do with the countryside. It’s the opposite of “urban.” The agrestic way of life might appeal to you, if you prefer fresh air and the great outdoors to the bustle of urban life. Agrestic can also refer to the less appealing side of country — the rough and rustic behavior you might attribute to a “country bumpkin,” somebody who isn’t city-savvy. You’ve probably noticed that agrestic sounds a bit like agriculture — both words share the Latin root ager “field.” WORD FAMILYagrestic USAGE EXAMPLESWeeds: Season 3 Doug: Building another suburb one town over will ruin the unique individuality of the Agrestic community.
