Dear FSK:
What does the word “feral” mean?

Hi D:
Thanks for the question. You’re one of many who are interested in the meaning and usage of the word “feral”.
The dictionary meaning:
fe·ral
adj.
Existing in a wild or untamed state.
Having returned to an untamed state from domestication.
Of or suggestive of a wild animal; savage: a feral grin.
[From Latin fera, wild animal, from ferus, wild. See ghwer- in Indo-European Roots.]
For me, the word truly states my erotic being. Once domestic and predictable, now completely wild and unrestrained.
Isn’t it a fabulous word?
xx FSK
