Cascan

/kæˈskæn/ adjective

Definition

Relating to or characteristic of a cascade or waterfall; flowing in a cascade manner (rare/archaic).

Etymology

English formation: cascade + -an suffix, an uncommon adjectival pattern.

Kelly Says

This is an archaic or poetic form—early writers trying to describe waterfall-like qualities might have invented 'cascan' as an adjective, though 'cascading' is now standard.
