Definition
Making a soft, continuous murmuring, purring, or rumbling sound; a variant spelling of curmurring used to describe animal or ambient sounds.
Etymology
Variant or alternate spelling of 'curmurring,' combining 'cur' (growl) and 'murr' (murmur), both onomatopoetic elements describing soft sounds.
Kelly Says
The extra 'r' in 'curmurring' makes it even more onomatopoetic—the double 'rr' actually mimics the rolling, growling quality of the sound it describes!
