Feral

I just think the word feral sounds beautiful. There is no real story as to why I like it other than it sounds pretty.

According to the AHD feral is defined as:

1a. Existing in a wild or untamed state.
b. Having returned to an untamed state from domestication.

2. Of or suggestive of a wild animal; savage

The word originates from the Latin word fera meaning wild animal which was derived from another Latin word ferus meaning wild.
