An archaic or Scottish dialectal word, possibly referring to a corner, nook, or cool place.
Possibly from Scottish Gaelic or Old English, though the etymology is uncertain. May be related to words meaning 'corner' or influenced by 'cool.'
Many Scottish dialect words remain mysterious in origin because they weren't written down until much later, making them linguistic ghosts of older speech patterns!
