savage
Whatever is not civilized is barbarian; barbaric indicates rude magnificence, uncultured richness; as, barbaric splendor, a barbaric melody. Barbarous refers to the worst side of barbarian life, and to revolting acts, especially of cruelty, such as a civilized man would not be expected to do; as, a barbarous deed. We may, however, say barbarous nations, barbarous tribes, without implying anything more than want of civilization and culture. Savage is more distinctly bloodthirsty than barbarous. In this sense we speak of a savage beast and of barbarous usage.

How to use «Savage» in context?
Savage is just a word. It means different things to different people. To some, it may mean someone who is angry, disrespectful, and violent. To others, savage may mean someone who is brave and daring. There is no one right answer for what qualifies as a savage person.
The definition of savage can also depend on the time period and culture in which it is being used. In ancient Greece and Rome, for example, people considered themselves savage if they didn’t live in city settlements. They would live on their own in the wilderness, fighting and hunting animals.

How is the word savage different from other adjectives like it?
Some common synonyms of savage are barbarous, cruel, ferocious, and fierce. While all these words mean «showing fury or malignity in looks or actions,» savage implies the absence of inhibitions restraining civilized people filled with rage, lust, or other violent passion.
Where would barbarous be a reasonable alternative to savage?
Although the words barbarous and savage have much in common, barbarous implies a ferocity or mercilessness regarded as unworthy of civilized people.
barbarous treatment of prisoners
When would cruel be a good substitute for savage?
The words cruel and savage can be used in similar contexts, but cruel implies indifference to suffering and even positive pleasure in inflicting it.

When can ferocious be used instead of savage?
While in some cases nearly identical to savage, ferocious implies extreme fierceness and unrestrained violence and brutality.
When might fierce be a better fit than savage?
The synonyms fierce and savage are sometimes interchangeable, but fierce applies to humans and animals that inspire terror because of their wild and menacing aspect or fury in attack.
