rusticate
To rusticate is a verb which has two primary meanings: 1) In architecture, to rusticate means to give a rustic appearance to something, often by finishing masonry in large blocks with sunk joints and a roughened surface. 2) More broadly, it can mean to send someone away from their usual surroundings for a period of time, often as a form of punishment or to encourage a change in behavior. It is commonly used in the context of a student being temporarily dismissed from a university or school. Rusticate can also mean to live or stay in the countryside rather than in a city, often in a simpler, more traditional or relaxed style of living.
