It conveys the idea of being outside the bounds of human cultivation or control, often associated with nature in its raw and unrefined state.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Greco-Roman world, the concept of "wild" was often associated with the untamed aspects of nature, which could be both beautiful and dangerous. The wilderness was seen as a place of testing and encounter with the divine, as well as a realm of chaos and unpredictability. This duality is reflected in the biblical use of "agrios," which can denote both the beauty of God's creation and the challenges it presents.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/68.htm">agros</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>living in the fields, wild, savage, fierce<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>wild (3).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 66: ἄγριος</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἄγριος</span></span>, , (<span class="greek2">ἀγρός</span>) (from <span class="abbreviation">Homer</span> down);
