Substantivisation of Medieval Latin (before 1294) forestis/foresta (silva); original sense of an open plot of land over which hunting rights are reserved is first found in Carolingian texts. The further etymology is unknown. Possibly derived from forīs (“outside, outdoors”) or based on forensis.[1] Sometimes regarded as a borrowing from Frankish *furhiþi.[2]
