woodwose - n., a hairy wild-man of medieval mythology.


Canonically is hairy all over, lives in the forest, and carries a rough club. Wikipedia had a decent summary. From Old English, but while the wood part is obvious, the wose is not and sources available to me at the moment aren't of help.

And that wraps up W Week. Back next week with the usual mix.
