The etymology of the word "altruistic", can, of course, be found in Latin, as many words in the English language can. It originated from the Latin "alteri huic", which means "to this other". Then it traveled to Italian, became "altrui", meaning "somebody else", and then to French, became "altruisme", which then became the English "altruism", meaning "selflessness". Regarding the structure of the word "altruistic", seeing that it has the suffix -ic, it can be assumed that this is an adjective meaning "a person who has a quality of being altruistic, or selfless".

Answer:

The maid lived in a rural setting.

Explanation:

William Wordsworth's poem "She Dwelt Among the Untrodden Ways" mourns the loss of "Lucy", a fair maiden who "lived unknown". In a three stanza poem, the speaker mourns the death of the "maid" who was beautiful. But aside from her beauty, she was humble and modest, and did not draw any form of attention to herself.

The poet used the adjective word "untrodden" to signify how simple of a life the maid lived. She "dwelt among the "untrodden", meaning away from the busy and hectic life, literally meaning the less occupied place. And in this "untrodden" place, she was alone, with "none to praise and very few to love". And when she died, there were "few" who could know the difference of her presence and absence from the earth. This shows that she lived in a rural place, where there are less or no people.
