What is the origin of word urban?

The word "urban" originates from the Latin word "urbs," meaning "city."

Over time, "urbs" evolved into the Latin adjective "urbanus," meaning "of or relating to a city."

The English word "urban" is derived directly from "urbanus," entering the English language in the 14th century.

So, the next time you hear "urban," remember its roots in the very essence of city life!
