undomesticated

/ʌndəmˈɛstᵻkˌeɪɾᵻd/ adjective

not tamed or living with humans; wild

Word Origin Undomesticated means not tamed, not brought into the house. Domestic comes from Latin 'domesticus,' from 'domus' 'house.' The root 'domus' gives us domain (a lord's house), dominate (to rule over a house), and dome (a house-shaped roof). The PIE root '*demh₂-' meant 'to build,' and also gives us timber (building material).
