Boskages

/ˈbɒskɪdʒɪz/ noun

Definition

Plural of boskage; multiple wooded areas, patches of dense vegetation, or collections of shrubs and trees.

Etymology

Simple plural of boskage, maintaining the Old French and Latin roots while adding English plural formation.

Kelly Says

In poetry, 'boskages' creates a wonderful rhythm that modern words like 'woodlands' can't quite match—the '-age' ending gives it a flowing, romantic quality that appeals to writers of fantasy and historical fiction.
