What does CHURR mean in Scrabble?
noun
zoology
A whirring, vibrating call made by certain birds and insects, such as the nightjar, or the act of making that sound.
The nightjar is especially known for its long, mechanical-sounding churr, repeated on one pitch for minutes at a time, usually at dusk. The word churr is a close variant of chirr and is used the same way, as both a noun for the sound and a verb for producing it. Birdwatchers and nature writers use churr specifically to describe this sustained, engine-like call rather than a song.
How CHURR is used
Used mainly in birdwatching and nature writing to describe the nightjar's distinctive call and similar insect sounds.
- A nightjar's churr carried across the heath at dusk.
- A steady churr came from the dark hedge.
- Cicadas churr through the hottest part of the day.
- Birders listened for the male bird's churr in the twilight.
