Definitions

  1. a high wave (often dangerous) caused by tidal flow (as by colliding tidal currents or in a narrow estuary)

Word origin

Not attested in Middle English; either from Old English *ēagor (“water, sea”) (attested in ēagorstrēam) or Old Norse ægir (“sea, ocean”); however, both possibilities fail to show the phonological outcome one would expect.

Used in a sentence

  • A large wave like an eagre, diverging from its bow, was extending to either bank, swamping the tules and threatening to submerge the lower levees.
