Nice after dropping its second rustic (7)
I believe the answer is:
peasant
'rustic' is the definition.
(peasant is a kind of rustic)
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for peasant that I've seen before include "Lowly tiller of land" , "Poor farmworker" , "Yokel" , "Poor agricultural worker" , "Member of rural underclass" .)
