Retreats to countryside
Rusticates means sends to or settles in the countryside, away from urban life.
The word carries connotations of simplicity and rural charm: She rusticates at her family's farmhouse each summer.
In British university usage, to rusticate a student is to suspend them temporarily—sending them away from campus.
Stone that rusticates is cut with deep joints to create a rough, textured surface on building facades.
