Root Explanation

Ruralite is formed from "rural" (from Latin "ruralis", meaning of the countryside) and the suffix "-ite" (meaning belonging to or related to). The word "ruralite" refers to the quality or state of being rural or related to the countryside.

Memory Tip

Think of 'rural' which relates to the countryside, and '-ite' meaning belonging to, so 'ruralite' describes something that belongs to or is characteristic of rural areas.
