A dialectal or archaic term for a type of crow or raven, possibly with regional British origins.
Compound word combining 'gor-' (of uncertain origin, possibly related to 'gore' or a dialectal prefix) with 'crow,' though the exact motivation for the 'gor-' prefix remains unclear.
Medieval and dialectal bird names are wonderfully specific—'gorcrow' suggests a particular type of crow distinguished in some lost regional tradition, now just an oddity in unabridged dictionaries.
