Ragaire/Ragaireacht

AlabamaWorley · 2016-02-08 21:32:07

I was wondering if someone could clarify what these two words mean - I saw the following online and was wondering if it is correct. 'Ragaireacht is an Irish word for late-night wandering, or for sitting up talking long into the early hours. And a ragaire is someone who enjoys precisely that.' Thanks
