Etymology
The word 'craggier' is derived from the noun 'crag', which comes from the Old Norse 'kragi', meaning a steep or rugged rock. The term entered Middle English as 'cragge', and through linguistic evolution, has retained its connection to rough, uneven terrain. The comparative form 'craggier' emerged to describe landscapes that exhibit greater ruggedness in comparison to others. Its usage has been closely tied to geographical descriptions and outdoor activities, particularly in hiking and climbing contexts. As the appreciation for natural landscapes grew, so did the use of 'craggier' to evoke images of wild, untamed regions. The word encapsulates not just the physical appearance of these areas but also the sense of adventure and exploration they offer.
