1972 R. J. Wilson Introd. Graph Theory iv. 46 Given any connected graph G, we can choose a circuit and remove one of its edges, the resulting graph remaining connected... We repeat this procedure with one of the remaining circuits, continuing until there are no circuits left. The graph which remains will be a tree which connects all the vertices of G; it is called a spanning tree of G... More generally, if G now denotes an arbitrary graph with..k components, we can carry out the above procedure on each component of G, the result being called a spanning forest (or skeleton).
