The word "savaged" comes from the verb "savage", which in turn derives from the noun "savage". The term "savage" originated in the 13th century from the Old French word "sauvage", meaning "wild" or "untamed". It can be traced back to the Latin word "silvaticus" which meant "of the woods" or "rural". The word "silva" means "forest" in Latin. With time, the word "savage" expanded its meaning to describe not just something wild or untamed but also something ferocious or cruel, especially in relation to animals or humans. Thus, "savaged" is a past tense form of the verb "savage", used to convey the act of inflicting violence, attack, or destruction.
