gytrash or guytrash (GAI-trash) - n., a specter that haunts lonely roads in the form of a black horse or dog.


Largely confined to northern England, so most of us are unlikely to meet one. Jane Eyre initially wonders whether Rochester's dog and then horse are gytrash, which sets up some characterization of her. Word origin is unknown.
