Morphology
agrestic = agrest (semi-transparent) = agrest + ic
Formed from the rare stem 'agrest-' (field-related) plus the productive adjectival suffix '-ic'; the semantic link to 'rural' is recoverable but the stem is obscure to typical learners.
Etymology
Agrestic comes from the Latin word agrestis, built on ager which means 'field'. You can see the same root in agriculture, which is farming, so agrestic describes things of the countryside or fields.
