carsen.

Brit.

/ˈkɑːʃ/, U.S.

/ˈkɑrs/, Scottish English

/ˈkars/

Forms: Middle English kerss, 1500s cars, 1600s– carse.

Etymology: Of uncertain derivation, but perhaps the same word as carres , carrs , cars , plural of carr n.² fen, low wet land. This suits the sense: the early quotations speak of the kerss as full of pools and mires: Trivet describes the Carse of Falkirk in the time of Edward I. as loca palustria (Jamieson). The suppression of the vowel of the plural is phonetically regular, and the retention of the (s) sound instead of its change to (z) is seen also in pence, dice, mice, truce (the latter also, like carse, made into a singular). Compare also the change of Pieres, Peres to Piers, Pierce. The difficulty is that no early examples of kerris or carres are found in Scots: in Barbour the word is already kerss. The Welsh cors ‘marsh’ suits the sense, but presents a difficulty in the vowel, as well as in the geographical localization of the word.

Scottish.

a. The stretch of low alluvial land along the banks of some Scottish rivers:‘Thus all the flat lands, on the north side of Tay, between Perth and Dundee, are called the Carse of Gowrie; those on the Forth, the Carse of Stirling, and the Carse of Falkirk’ (Jamieson). The name appears to have originally referred to their wet fenny character, but is now associated with their rich fertility.
