Curf

/kɜrf/ noun

Definition

A variant or dialectal term, possibly related to 'curfew' or an old word for a strap or band used to restrain or confine.

Etymology

The etymology of 'curf' is uncertain; it may relate to Old French 'couvre-feu' (cover fire, the origin of curfew) or represent a lost English word with similar meaning. It appears in some historical texts but is largely obsolete.

Kelly Says

Curf is one of those words that archaeologists of language find in old texts and aren't quite sure what it means anymore—it's like finding a tool in a toolbox with no label!
