Wild at heart
The term "wild" originates from the Old English "wild," meaning "living or growing in the natural environment" and comes from the Proto-Germanic word "*wilthiz." The word "pumpkin" stems from the Greek word "pepon," meaning "large melon," which evolved through Old French "pompon" and Middle English "pompion."
