Britishregional
Covered with or full of gorse, the spiny yellow-flowered shrub.
Gorsy describes hillsides, commons, and heathland thick with gorse, a tough evergreen shrub whose sharp spines and bright yellow flowers are a familiar sight on British moorland. Walkers use the word to warn that a path runs through prickly, hard-to-cross ground rather than open grass. It is a plain descriptive term rather than a scientific one.
