coracle

noun

Etymology: Of Celtic origin; related to Welsh corwg, Irish curach (“boat”) and Cornish gorhel (“ship”), from Proto-Celtic *kurukos (“boat”).

1. A small circular or oblong boat made of wickerwork and made watertight with hides or pitch, propelled and steered with a single paddle and light enough to be carried on a person's back.

   “The White Hart, overlooking the bridge, has a bar named after the coracles that may still be seen on this part of the Teifi.”
