the.com/crag
a cliff that dares gravity to a duel and wins every time
means A steep, rugged rock face or rocky outcrop, especially a high one jutting out from a hillside or coast.
from From a Celtic root — compare Welsh 'craig' and Scottish Gaelic 'creag,' both meaning rock. It entered English by way of the Celtic-speaking edges of Britain, which is fitting: the word still feels like it belongs to the wild northern and western highlands where such rocks loom. The same root surfaces in countless British place-names ending in 'craig' or 'crag.'
