Your Word Of The Day Is...

Thalweg

From 19th century German Thal (“valley”) + Weg (“way, course”)

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/thalweg

It's the primary channel in a creek or whatever water runs in. I was looking over a certification sheet I need to complete for a creek realignment(stupid!), and that word popped up. I haven't done this in the past, so I never chanced on the word. It's very interesting though. I like the way it looks and sounds. I was thinking Old English, but as shown above, it's German, which isn't so different anyway.
