What is English for 'ferus'?

Answer 1

The English equivalent of the Latin adjective 'ferus' is wild. It literally means 'untamed, uncultivated'. It also may have the more loosely translated meanings of 'wild, uncivilized, savage, rough, cruel'. As a noun, the word 'ferus' may be translated as 'a wild animal'. Among the ancient Romans, the word particularly was used in reference to wild boars and wild horses. In the plural form of the accusative, as the direct object of the verb, the form is 'feros' ['wild male animals'].
