A somewhat loose word for a large cave, applicable either to an impressively large chamber ('room' in US caving terminology) or to the whole cave.

The word is really only used in cave names, especially by show-cave owners for obvious reasons, and is rather archaic.

The "standard" words throughout the English-speaking caving world are "Cave" for the entire structure, irrespective of form, complexity and dimensions, and "Chamber" (or "Room") for a single void within the system, and significantly larger than the passages entering it.
