craggy
Other forms: craggier; craggily; craggiest
Something is craggy when it's uneven, rough, and jagged, like the craggy cliffs along a rocky beach.
The adjective craggy is most often used to describe a landscape or natural feature like a hill or outcrop, and occasionally a scarred or pitted face, like your uncle's craggy cheeks. The word comes from crag, "rugged cliff or rock." Most crags are found in northern Scotland and England, and the roots of crag go back to a Celtic source.
