Scottish Gaelic[edit]
Pronunciation[edit]
Etymology 1[edit]
From Old Irish srath (“grassland”), from Proto-Celtic *stratos (“valley”). Probably influenced in meaning by a Brythonic/Pictish cognate, compare Welsh ystrad (“river valley”).
Noun[edit]
srath m (genitive singular sratha, plural srathan)
- wide, flat river valley; strath
- low-lying or flat part of a valley district, farm or country, in contrast to its hilly ground
- meadow
- dell
- (rare) marshy ground
- plain beside a river
Derived terms[edit]
Descendants[edit]
- → English: strath
Etymology 2[edit]
Cognate with Irish sraith f (“imposition, rate, tax”). The Dictionary of the Irish Language assigns this meaning to Old Irish srath (“grass, sward”),[1] but Old Irish sreth (“series, arrangement”)[2] may be more likely.
Noun[edit]
srath m (genitive singular sraith, plural srathan)
