It comes from the Sanskrit jangala which originally referred to waste, uncultivated ground. The meaning later changed to waste ground covered in shrubs, trees or long grass. Still later, the Anglo-Indian word came to mean an area covered in wild growth or a forest.

jungle - Hindi jāngal 'wasteland' ← Sanskrit jāngala 'desert'Sanskrit Indian Language. Jungle means in Hindi Forest. The word jungle originates from the Sanskrit word jangala (Sanskrit: जंगल), meaning uncultivated land.
