I’ve often seen this word when real estate agents describe the properties they are trying to sell and wondered what the actual definition of BUCOLIC was. From Merriam Webster online:
Main Entry: bu·col·ic
Pronunciation: \byü-ˈkä-lik\
Function: adjective
Etymology: Latin bucolicus, from Greek boukolikos, from boukolos cowherd, from bous head of cattle + -kolos (akin to Latin colere to cultivate) — more at cow, wheel
Date: circa 1609
1 : of or relating to shepherds or herdsmen : pastoral
2 a : relating to or typical of rural life b : idyllic
Now to use it in a sentence:
Many of the large resorts in Hawai’i are in a bucolic setting.
Many of our politicians would be more at home in a bucolic setting?
