- Describing low tide, when the tide has receded or ebbed: "rặc" specifically describes the state of water, particularly tidal water, when it is at its lowest level after receding.
Usage
- The word "rặc" is used almost exclusively to describe the condition of tidal water. It is a specific term related to the tidal cycle, contrasting with high tide ("nước lớn" or "nước đầy").
