The Forest

Ever wondered where the word "forest" came from? Eh, just as thought, you've never wondered.

Well, I'm here to tell you.

The word "forest" dates back to around 1300, and comes from Old French. In O. French, it was a word for a special plot of forest specifically reserved for royal use. The word "wood" is the native English word for "forest."

Pretty cool huh?
