forester
UK: ˈfɒrɪstə | US: ˈfɔːrɪstər
n. a person who manages or works in a forest
n. an animal that lives in forests (e.g., the Forester kangaroo)
The word "forester" combines "forest," derived from Old French forest (originally meaning "open wood for hunting," from Latin forestis silva, "outside woods"), with the agentive suffix "-er," denoting a person associated with an activity. The term evolved from medieval Latin forestarius (a keeper of royal hunting grounds) to its modern sense of a forest manager or inhabitant. The logic reflects a shift from hunting-centric roles to broader forestry and ecological stewardship.
