SCRIKE Meaning and
Definition
-
Scrike is a verb that means to emit a piercing or shrill sound, usually resembling a screech or a high-pitched squeal. It is often used to describe the sound produced by a bird or certain animals.
The term can also be used in a figurative sense to convey a sharp or harsh noise made by an inanimate object or a machine. For instance, the sound of brakes screeching or the grinding of metal may be described as a scrike.
In addition to its auditory meaning, scrike can also describe a sudden harsh or grating movement, particularly when used as a noun. It might refer to the scraping sound of a vehicle skidding across the road, or the noise created by dragging a heavy object on a rough surface.
The word scrike originates from a Middle English term "skrike," and is related to the Old English word "scrician," which means to make a shrill noise. It is similar to the word "shriek" and shares its connotation of piercing or high-pitched sound.
Overall, scrike encapsulates the idea of a sharp, screechy noise or movement that is often associated with distress, discomfort, or a startling event.
Etymology of SCRIKE
The word "scrike" is derived from Middle English, specifically from the verb "skriken" which meant "to screech" or "to cry out loudly". It can be traced back to Old English "scriecan" and Proto-Germanic "skrēkijaną", both of which also carried the meaning of "to shriek" or "to cry out". The word "scrike" is primarily used in Scottish and Northern English dialects today, where it still refers to a high-pitched screeching or crying sound.
