Etymology
1. Inherited from Middle English forest, from Old French forest, from Early Medieval Latin forestis. The Latin could be:
2. * from foris (“outside”), as in forestis (silva) "(wood) outside,"
3. * or from Frankish or Proto-West Germanic *furhisti (“forest, fir-grove, wooded land”), equivalent to fir + hurst. In which case, related to Old English fyrhþe (“forested land”), Old High German forst, forsti (“forest”), Old Norse fýri (“pine forest”). Doublet of frith.
4. Cognate with Dutch vorst (“copse, grove, woodland”), German Forst (“forest”).
5. In this sense, mostly displaced the native Middle English wode, from Old English wudu (modern English wood) and Middle English wald, wold, wæld, from Old English wald, weald (modern English wald, weald, wold).
