 The root meaning of the English word 'forest' is "a large area of land covered with trees and plants". Etymologically the word is derived from the latin 'forestem silvam' and it has had it's current meaning at least since the 9nth century when the word 'forest' appeared in Old French. Special interest groups may use narrower definitions. Biology proposes that all properly drained lands left to themselves will eventually become forested as the final phase of ecological succession.  The root meaning of the English word 'forest' is "a large area of land covered with trees and plants".
