Definition
Relating to or characteristic of fields, rural areas, or rustic life; wild or uncultivated in nature.
Etymology
From Latin 'agrestis' plus the suffix '-ian,' creating yet another variant form. This is an even rarer variant, mostly appearing in highly specialized agricultural or historical texts.
Kelly Says
English had so many ways to say 'relating to fields' because agriculture was so important to society—we used every possible suffix to describe wild versus cultivated land, showing how much this distinction mattered.
