Origin of rustic

I'm flattered to be called unsophisticated, because a lot of people don't really know what sophistication truly means. It means false. Sadly it got into the hands of peasants like many English words. A bit like 'mobiles' dangle dangle things you hang on the ceiling. Now people think you're talking mad if you go into the shop and say I want a mobile (telephone) to dangle over the baby's cot. As for 'sophistication' I expect even the dictionaries have given in to the lowest denominator robbing it of its rightful meaning.
