What does GORGE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A deep, narrow valley with steep, rocky sides, usually formed and still crossed by a river or stream.
A gorge forms over long periods as flowing water cuts down through rock, leaving high walls on either side of a channel that is often much narrower than the valley above it. Rivers running through a gorge can be fast and turbulent, since the narrow rocky sides force the current together. The same word also works as a verb meaning to eat greedily, a separate sense that likely comes from the throat, another old meaning of gorge.
