She (oups

I think silva is the word you are searching for.

Silva (according to the classical orthography, "sylva" in mediaeval textes) is the most common word.

There are also : nemus and saltus (it is not exactly the same, but I cannot explain it in english. Nemus est un bois clairsemé, saltus un défilé couvert de hautes futaies ; dans les deux cas on y fait paître les bêtes, ce qu'on ne fait pas dans une silva).

I was curious about the origin of the word forest. If anybody else had the same impulse, this is what I found:

Middle English, from Old French,
from Medieval Latin forestis (silva), outside (forest),
from Latin forïs, outside;

see dhwer- in Indo-European roots.

Whaouh!

The Polish for "tree/wood" is drzewo.
And дерево (derevo) = "tree/wood" in Russian.
