Preferred term

wild versus tame  

Definition

  • The words wild and tame go back to ancient Germanic roots, and perhaps earlier still, if they are—respectively—cognate with Latin ferus “wild” and domare “dominate,” as suggested by the Oxford English Dictionary. They always had the meanings they have now, and they also were always opposed. [Source: Encyclopedia of Environment and Society; Wild versus Tame]
