"silva" meaning in Latin

See silva in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /ˈsil.u̯a/ [Classical], [ˈs̠ɪɫ̪u̯ä] [Classical], /ˈsil.va/ (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical), [ˈsilvä] (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical)
Etymology: Traditionally derived from Proto-Indo-European *sel-, *swel- (“firewood, wood, beam, board, frame, threshold”), and compared with Ancient Greek ὕλη (húlē, “wood, timber”) and Old English syl (“sill, threshold, foundation”). However, De Vaan is implicitly skeptical of this derivation, and leaves the origin open.
