A word for a 'wild stream'? [closed]
I am looking for a word describing water flowing fast and aggressively like white water. Is there a single word describing that kind of flow?
The main thing it should convey is the fast and wild flow of the water.
Solution 1:
Torrent Oxford Online Dictionary defines as:
: A strong and fast-moving stream of water or other liquid.
‘rain poured down in torrents’
‘after the rains, the stream becomes a raging torrent’
Also consider Rapid Also Oxford Online
(usually rapids)
A fast-flowing and turbulent part of the course of a river.
‘those of you looking for adventure can shoot the rapids’
Solution 2:
I think a sports person would call it a white-water stream/river.
That follows the name of the sports which take place on such watercourses, such as white-water rafting/canoeing etc.
Solution 3:
I think "rushing river" is an apt and common phrase.
