Word to the Wise: Bucolic

"Bucolic" (byoo-KOL-ik) – from the Greek for "herdsman" – means pertaining to or suggesting an idyllic rural life.

Example (as used by Ada Calhoun in a New York Times review of American Eve): "[Evelyn Nesbit] had a bucolic childhood in Pennsylvania until her father’s sudden death, which plunged the family into penury."
