Definition
村野 literally means 'villages and fields' (村 'village' + 野 'wilds/fields'), but it's also used figuratively to describe someone as rustic, rough, or boorish — carrying a mildly derogatory tone about lacking urban sophistication. The literal sense appears in landscape descriptions; the figurative sense describes manners or speech. Use with care — it can sound judgmental.
