From which language does the term 'forest' originate?
Explanation
The word 'forest' traces back to the 13th century and is derived from the Latin phrase 'forestis silva,' meaning 'an unenclosed wooded area.' The term 'forestis' comes from the Latin word 'forīs,' which means 'outside'—the same root as the word 'foreign.' This origin confirms that 'forest' comes from Latin.
