Etymology
'urban-residing' originates from the combination of 'urban,' which comes from Latin 'urbanus,' meaning 'of or pertaining to a city,' and 'residing,' from Latin 'residere,' meaning 'to sit back, remain.'
'urban' changed from the Latin word 'urbanus' and eventually became the modern English word 'urban.' 'Residing' evolved from the Latin 'residere' through Old French 'resider' to the modern English 'reside.'
Initially, 'urban' meant 'pertaining to a city,' and 'residing' meant 'to remain or dwell.' The combined term 'urban-residing' retains these meanings in modern usage.
