countrified
Having pastoral character
Countrified describes something with rural character—unsophisticated, rustic, or reminiscent of the countryside.
It often carries a slightly dismissive tone, suggesting provincial manners or tastes: The décor had a countrified charm that felt out of place in Manhattan.
The word can describe accents, attitudes, clothing, or music that evokes rural life.
Also spelled countryfied.
