What does CHIRR mean in Scrabble?
noun
A shrill trilling or vibrating sound of the kind made by crickets, grasshoppers and similar insects.
A chirr is produced by rubbing wing parts or legs together rather than by a voice, which is why it has a buzzing, mechanical quality rather than a musical one. English uses chirr both as a noun for the sound and as a verb for making it, and the word itself imitates the noise it describes. Warm evenings in grassy or wooded areas are typically filled with this steady chirr.
How CHIRR is used
Used mainly in descriptions of insect sound, in nature writing more than in everyday conversation.
- The chirr of crickets filled the summer night.
- A grasshopper began to chirr in the long grass.
- She could hear the steady chirr from the hedge.
