ETYM French gorge, Late Lat. gorgia, throat, narrow pass, and gorga abyss, whirlpool, prob. from Latin gurgea whirlpool, gulf, abyss; cf. Skr. gargara whirlpool, gra to devour. Related to Gorget.
Narrow steep-sided valley (or canyon) that may or may not have a river at the bottom. A gorge may be formed as a waterfall retreats upstream, eroding away the rock at the base of a river valley; or it may be caused by rejuvenation, when a river begins to cut downward into its channel once again (for example, in response to a fall in sea level). Gorges are common in limestone country, where they may be formed by the collapse of the roofs of underground caverns.
