Could the term "Black Death" have some allusion to the wild man to through the Latin term "atra mor"?
Quora historians always tell the reason why the Plague of 48-49 is called the Black Plague is from the expression of the black boils that would arise on the skin of the people who were sick. However, if the effects of the plague was so visible, why is the term "Black Death" a more modern contrivance. During that time, they called it "The Great Pestilence" or "The Death".
(From The Great Pestilence by Cardinal
FRANCIS AIDAN GASQUET, D.D., O.S.B.)
And, in the first place ,it may be well to state that the name Black Death,by which the great pestilence is now generally known, not only in England, but elsewhere ,is of comparatively modern origin. In no contemporary account of the epidemic is it called by that ominous title; at the time people spoke of it as "the pestilence," " the great mortality," "the death," "the plague of Florence," etc., and, apparently, not until some centuries later was it given the name of "The Black Death."
It only assumed that title after the Plague of the 17th century received its title of "The Great Plague".
(Same book)
"It is hard to resist the impression that in England, at least, it was used as the recognized name for the epidemic of 1349 only after the pestilence of the seventeenth century had assumed to itself the title of the Great Plague. Whether the name Black Death was first adopted to express the universal state of mourning to which the disease reduced the people of all countries, or to mark the special characteristic symptoms of this epidemic ,is, under the circumstances of its late origin, unimportant to determine."
The term "atra mor" came to be associated with the plague of 1348 after Pontaus' "Rerum Danicarium Historia" (1631) despite its connection is still a bit disputed.
(Same book)
"This it seems to have first received in Denmark or Sweden, although it is doubtful whether the atra mors of Pontanus is equivalent to the English Black Death."
"Atra" in Latin means "Black" or "Dark". The term "atra" is the feminine form "ater". Here's what the paper called "Notes to the origin of the expression: " says about the term "ater":
(From the "Notes to the origin of the expression: "Atra mors" )
"Ater is, as it were, used very frequently in a
figurative sense to denote ominous, portentous events; certain days mali ominis are atrae dies (25). And ater comes to be the designation
of many things connected with ORCUS."
Orcus is closely tied to the wild man.
(From the book "Wild Men in the Middle Ages" by Richard Bernheimer)
Orcus must be identified with the wild man. Back in pagan times Orcus had always been a somewhat shadowy figure, better known among simple peasants than in the cities, where no official cult was accorded him. Now, centuries later, he was rewarded for his former obscurity by remaining a live religious entity at a time when the more respectable gods of Olympus were no more than learned memories. He paid the price for such long survival by submitting to thorough going mythological change.
(From Wikipedia search of "Orcus")
Orcus was chiefly worshipped in rural areas; he had no official cult in the cities.[2] This remoteness allowed for him to survive in the countryside long after the more prevalent gods had ceased to be worshipped. He survived as a folk figure into the Middle Ages, and aspects of his worship were transmuted into the wild man festivals held in rural parts of Europe through modern times.[2] Indeed, much of what is known about the celebrations associated with Orcus come from medieval sources.[2]
