Origin of the word forest

In Old English, the phrase "foræst" was used to describe a dense, uncultivated area of trees, often in contrast to the more cultivated and managed woods closer to human settlements. The word has undergone changes over time, with Middle English using the form "forest", which was then simplified to its modern spelling. Today, the word "forest" encompasses a wide range of ecosystems, from dense, primary forests to more open woodlands, and is used in many languages around the world.
