Middle English, from Middle French, from Latin ruralis, from rur-, rus open land


  • of or relating to the country, country people or life, or agriculture


Rural areas (referred to as "the countryside") are large and isolated areas of an open country (in reference to open fields and not forests, etc.), often with low population density. It should be noted that the terms "countryside" and "rural areas" are NOT synonyms. In particular, a "countryside" refers to rural areas that are OPEN. A forest, wetlands, etc. with a low population density is NOT a countryside.
