Definition
Steep and rocky with many jagged edges; rough and uneven like a cliff face.
Etymology
From Middle English 'crag' meaning a steep rocky precipice, possibly from Old Norse 'krangr.' The adjective suffix '-y' was added to create the descriptive form around the 15th century.
Kelly Says
The word 'craggy' is famously used to describe faces with distinctive features—Clint Eastwood and other classic actors were often praised for their 'craggy' looks—because rough texture reads as strong, weathered character.
