What does CORRIE mean in Scrabble?
noun
Scots
A steep-walled, bowl-shaped hollow cut into a mountainside by a small glacier, especially in the Scottish Highlands.
A corrie forms where a small glacier once sat and ground away rock beneath and around it, leaving a half-open bowl with a steep backwall and often a small lake once the ice has melted. The term comes from Gaelic coire, meaning cauldron, which captures the rounded, scooped shape well, and it remains the word most walkers and climbers in Scotland actually use for this feature. Geographers elsewhere describe the same landform with the Welsh cwm or the French-derived cirque, but a corrie keeps its own regional identity.
How CORRIE is used
Mainly Scottish and Highland usage; the same landform is called cwm in Wales and cirque more broadly.
- Snow lingered in the corrie long after it had melted on the open slopes.
- Climbers roped up at the foot of the corrie before tackling the headwall.
- A small lochan filled the floor of the corrie.
- The map marked three corries below the summit ridge.
- Wind funnelled down the corrie and rattled the tent all night.
