A Scottish or dialectal word for a light rain, drizzle, or mist; a misty spray.
From Scottish English, possibly related to Old Norse or Scandinavian words for drizzle, reflecting the wet climate of Scotland and its linguistic heritage.
Scottish and Irish English have more words for rain than most languages—'drisk,' 'smirr,' 'pirl,' 'sheuch'—because speakers needed precision about the perpetual dampness surrounding them.
