Etymology
'urban-inclined' originates from the combination of 'urban,' derived from Latin 'urbanus,' meaning 'of the city,' and 'inclined,' from Latin 'inclinare,' meaning 'to lean towards.'
'urbanus' transformed into the English word 'urban,' and 'inclinare' became 'incline,' eventually forming the modern English term 'urban-inclined.'
Initially, 'urban' meant 'of the city,' and 'inclined' meant 'leaning towards.' Together, they evolved to describe a preference for urban environments.
