Origin:
The term "ferine" originates from the Proto-Indo-European root *gʷʰēr-, which signified "wild animal" or "beast." This root is also the source of the Latin word _ferus_ ("wild") and the English word "feral" ("wild or untamed").
The French word férin was derived from the Latin ferinus, which was used to describe qualities or behaviors associated with wild beasts. It was commonly employed in literary and artistic contexts to evoke the untamed, primal aspects of nature or the savagery of animals.
Over time, the term "ferine" has been adopted in various languages worldwide to denote anything related to wild animals or their characteristics. It has also been used metaphorically to describe human behavior that resembles that of beasts, often with negative connotations of savagery or uncontrollable impulses.
