A Scottish word for a small, stunted animal or creature, especially a runt or undersized being.
Scottish origin, likely from Gaelic roots. The term emerged in Scottish dialects to describe creatures that didn't grow to normal size—combining elements that suggest 'small' and 'crooked.'
Scottish has dozens of wonderfully specific words for things English speakers need whole sentences to describe—'curcuddoch' captures the idea of being scrawny or runt-like in just one delightful, tongue-twisting word.
