Rustic and rusticate...

Rustic (adj):having to do with the life in country,simple and charming in a way seen typical of the countryside.

Contextual example:

Each day the rustic scenes (rural) from his village made him feel nostalgic, finally Mohan decided that he would leave US and go back to Charanpur.

Guess which movie this example might belong to?

This word comes from the Latin root "rusticus" which in turn comes from the root "rus" which means country. In fact the word rural also comes from the same root (rus).

To make this word a tad easy to remember lets consider a familiar word.

Rusticate (V): suspend (a student) from a university as a punishment.

When you rusticate someone, you send him or her to the countryside for some time.

Contextual example:

He was rusticated from the school because he had drawn moustaches on the painting of Anne Besant.

Contextual example:

After he was rusticated from school, he lost interest in education.
