suburban
UK: səˈbɜːbən | US: səˈbɜːrbən
adj. relating to or characteristic of a suburb (a residential area on the outskirts of a city)
n. (rare) a person who lives in a suburb
The word "suburban" originates from Latin suburbanus, combining sub- (meaning "near" or "under") and urbānus (from urbs, "city"). Historically, it described areas just outside city walls. Over time, it evolved to denote residential zones on the periphery of urban centers, reflecting the expansion of cities and the rise of commuter culture. The suffix -an standardizes it as an adjective.
