Etymologie (Engels)

Perhaps from Proto-Italic *terzestris, from *terzos + *-tris, the first of which would also be the base of terrēnus. The suffix -tris is possibly also seen in bimēnstris, as well as palūster, equester, pedester. Reanalysis as terr-estris, as if derived from terra, would have yielded a new suffix -estris which is found in e.g. campester and silvestris. From a synchronic perspective of Classical Latin, terrestris indeed contained the -estris-suffix.
