Etymology
'urban-influenced' originates from the combination of 'urban,' derived from Latin 'urbanus,' meaning 'of or pertaining to a city,' and 'influenced,' from Latin 'influere,' meaning 'to flow into.'
'urban' changed from the Latin word 'urbanus' and eventually became the modern English word 'urban.' 'Influenced' evolved from the Latin 'influere' through Old French 'influencer.'
Initially, 'urban' meant 'pertaining to a city,' and 'influenced' meant 'to flow into.' Over time, 'urban-influenced' evolved to mean 'affected by urban characteristics.'
