BEAST
What beast means
A large, wild, or fierce animal, or a cruel and savage person.
Where the word comes from
From Old French *beste*, which came from Latin *bestia*, meaning "animal" or "wild animal." The Latin word's ultimate origin is uncertain, though some suggest it may be connected to an ancient root meaning "to feed" or "to graze." The term entered English around the 12th century and gradually took on connotations of savagery or brutishness alongside its basic meaning of any four-legged animal.
