CHACK Meaning and Definition

  1. Chack is a verb that originated from Scots language and is commonly used, particularly in Scottish and Northern English dialects. Its primary definition refers to the act of checking or looking quickly or briefly at something or someone. It implies a sudden or swift glance or observation, often done with curiosity, suspicion, or in a wary manner.
