Editing Treebeard (section)

== In-fiction origins ==

In [[Sindarin]], one of Tolkien's [[Elvish language]]s, "Fangorn" is a compound of ''fanga'', "beard", and ''orne'', "tree", so it is the equivalent of the English "Treebeard". The [[Rohan (Middle-earth)#People|Riders of Rohan]] called Fangorn Forest the "Entwood", the wood of the [[Ent]]s. Treebeard gave it various names in [[Quenya]], another Elvish language: ''"Ambaróna"'' means "uprising, sunrise, orient" from ''amba'', "upwards" and ''róna'', "east". ''"Aldalómë"'' means "tree twilight" from ''alda'', "tree" and ''lómë'', "dusk, twilight".<ref name="The Silmarillion Ety" group=T>{{harvnb|Tolkien|1977|loc=Appendix: "Elements in Quenya and Sindarin Names"}}</ref> ''"Tauremorna"'' means "gloomy forest" from ''taur'', "forest", and ''morna'', "gloomy".<ref name="The Silmarillion Ety" group=T/> ''"Tauremornalómë"'' means "gloomy twilight forest".<ref name="The History of Middle-earth Ety" group=T>{{harvnb|Tolkien|1987}}</ref>
