Cityfied

/ˈsɪtɪˌfaɪd/ adjective

Definition

Made urban or given city characteristics; refined or sophisticated in manner like a city dweller (variant of citified).

Etymology

From city with the suffix -fied (from -ify, meaning 'to make'). An alternative spelling of 'citified,' both emerging in the 18th century to describe the process of urbanization or acquiring urban sophistication.

Kelly Says

Originally cityfied/citified was used mockingly by rural people to describe someone who'd 'put on airs' after moving to the city—it shows the long-standing tension between rural and urban cultures, which hasn't really gone away.
