urbane 
1533, "of or relating to cities or towns," from M.Fr. urbain (14c.), from L. urbanus "belonging to a city," also "citified, elegant" (see urban). The meaning "having the manners of townspeople, courteous, refined" is first attested 1623. Urbanity in this sense is recorded from 1535. For sense connection, cf. human/humane.
