What is Troughwise?

Troughwise is an adjective used to describe something that is situated or spread along the length of a trough, which is a long, narrow depression or channel.

For example, if you have a river flowing through a valley and there is a trough-like depression in the bottom of the valley, then the water in the river might be described as troughwise if it flows along the length of the depression.

The word is not commonly used in everyday language, but it can be found in specialized contexts such as geology, hydrology, or engineering, where it is used to describe the shape and flow of waterways or other fluids.
