Word origin
The word 'suburban' originated in the early 17th century from the Latin word 'suburbanus', which means 'belonging to a suburb'. Suburbs began to develop as residential areas on the outskirts of cities, and the term 'suburban' came to describe anything related to or characteristic of these areas. Over time, suburban living became associated with a quieter, more family-friendly lifestyle compared to the hustle and bustle of city centers.
