Today's word is urbane, spelled U-R-B-A-N-E.

Urbane is an adjective that means notably polite or polished in manner. Here is the word used in a sentence by Megan McArdle in Bloomberg View.



"In its heyday among the mod generation, the writing essentially peddled the fantasy of being a more sedentary James Bond: a sophisticated and urbane man about town, drowning in lady friends."

City slickers and country folk have long debated whether life is better in town or in the wide open spaces, and urbane is a term that springs from the throes of that debate. The word traces back to the Latin word urbs, meaning "city," and in its earliest English senses urbane was synonymous with its close relative urban meaning "of, relating to, characteristic of, or constituting a city." Urbane developed its modern sense of savoir faire from the belief, no doubt fostered by city dwellers, that living in the city made one more suave and polished than did leading a rural life.
