A small wooded area or thicket of bushes and small trees; a copse or dense growth of vegetation.
From Old French 'bosc' or 'boscus,' which came from Latin 'boscus,' likely from a Frankish origin meaning woodland or bush. The word entered Middle English during the medieval period.
The word 'bosk' survives in poetic English even though it's rarely used in modern speech—it appears in fantasy literature because it sounds beautifully archaic and mysterious, perfect for describing enchanted forests.
