A young or small gorilla, or a diminutive creature; possibly an archaic or dialectal term.
Formed from 'gorilla' with the diminutive suffix -ling (from Old English -ling, used for young or small versions of creatures, as in 'duckling' and 'gosling'). This is an extremely rare or obsolete formation.
The -ling suffix has been creating baby animal names for centuries—'duckling,' 'gosling,' 'seedling'—so theoretically 'gorling' should work perfectly even though nobody uses it for actual baby gorillas.
