Where this word comes from
Likely from Proto-West Germanic *furhisti. The shape of the word in Latin recalls the adjective agrestis. Alternatively, a shortening of an expression like silva *forestis, the latter an unattested adjective derived from forās (“outside”) or forum (“court”) + -est(r)is (adjective ending). In the former case the etymological sense would perhaps be “forest outside of public use” and in the latter case “forest belonging to the court”.
