Georgic

The adjective georgic, which may be used substantively, as a noun, means 'to do with garden or farm work'. It has been used mockingly to mean something like 'peasant' or 'rustic'. The word is hardly used nowadays, except as the title of Virgil's poem in four books (some would say that each of the divisions constitutes 'a georgic'): The Georgics (29 BCE).

Do not confuse Georgic with Georgian - though they share the same root. The forename George, to which Georgian refers, comes from georgos, 'a farmer', just as the farming handbook, the Georgics does.
