Etymology[edit]
Substantivisation of Medieval Latin (before 1294) forestis/foresta (silva); original sense of a plot of land outside the walls over which hunting rights are reserved is first found in Carolingian texts. The further etymology is unknown. Possibly derived from forīs (“outside, outdoors”) + -estris with dissimilated r like in agrestis.[1] Sometimes regarded as a borrowing from Frankish *furhiþi.[2]
