incult \In*cult"\, adjective:

1. Not cultured; coarse.
2. Untilled; uncultivated; crude; rude; uncivilized.

Her forests huge,
Incult, robust, and tall, by Nature’s hand
Planted of old; her azure lakes between,
Poured out extensive, and of wat’ry wealth
Full; winding deep and green, her fertile vales,
With many a cool translucent, brimming flood
Washed lovely, from the Tweed, pure parent stream,
Whose pastoral banks first heard my Doric reed,
With sylvan Jed, thy tributary brook,
To where the north-inflated tempest foams.

James Thomson, 1700-1748
Title of this poem is unknown, but can be found here.
Byways of the Scottish Border; "Jethart's Here!".

Etymology: Latin incultus, from in- + cultus, past participle of colere to cultivate. Date: 1599.
