Etymology

etymology note

(deprecated template usage) [etyl] Medieval Latin (deprecated template usage) foresta probably represents the fusion of two earlier words: one taken as an adaptation of the (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Late Latin phrase (deprecated template usage) forestem silvam, mistaking forestem for woods (—a development not found in Romance languages; compare (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Old French (deprecated template usage) selve); the other is the continuance of an existing word since Merovingian times of (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Lua error in Module:parameters at line 290: Parameter 1 should be a valid language or etymology language code; the value "gem" is not valid. See WT:LOL and WT:LOL/E. origin, from (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Frankish *(deprecated template usage) forhist as the general word for "forest, forested land". The (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Medieval Latin term may have originated as a sound-alike, or been adapted as a play on the Frankish word (Gallo-Romans were often outraged by the King's exclusive hunting rights in the "outside forest". Emphasis to "outside" may have been an attempt to evoke danger, or to emphasise that the lands were banned from general note). (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Frankish *(deprecated template usage) forhist comes from Template:proto, from Template:proto, and is cognate with (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Old High German (deprecated template usage) forst ((deprecated template usage) [etyl] German (deprecated template usage) Forst), (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Middle Low German (deprecated template usage) vorst, (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Old English (deprecated template usage) fyrhþ, (deprecated template usage) fyrhþe, (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Old Norse (deprecated template usage) Lua error in Module:parameters at line 290: Parameter "sc" should be a valid script code; the value "Latinx" is not valid. See WT:LOS., and (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Old Norse (deprecated template usage) Lua error in Module:parameters at line 290: Parameter "sc" should be a valid script code; the value "Latinx" is not valid. See WT:LOS.. More at frith, fir.

(deprecated template usage) [etyl] Latin (deprecated template usage) forestem comes from (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Latin (deprecated template usage) foris from Template:proto, akin to English (deprecated template usage) door. More at foreign.
