Steep is relative; an ascent of 100 feet to the mile on a railway is a steep grade; a rise of 500 feet to the mile makes a steep wagon-road; a roof is steep when it makes with the horizontal line an angle of more than 45°. A high mountain may be climbed by a winding road nowhere steep, while a little hill may be accessible only by a steep path. A sharp ascent or descent is one that makes a sudden, decided angle with the plane from which it starts; a sheer ascent or descent is perpendicular, or nearly so; precipitous applies to that which is of the nature of a precipice, and is used especially of a descent; abrupt is as if broken sharply off, and applies to either acclivity or declivity.

Synonym Chooser

How is the word steep different from other adjectives like it?

Some common synonyms of steep are abrupt, precipitous, and sheer. While all these words mean «having an incline approaching the perpendicular,» steep implies such sharpness of pitch that ascent or descent is very difficult.

When would abrupt be a good substitute for steep?

In some situations, the words abrupt and steep are roughly equivalent. However, abrupt implies a sharper pitch and a sudden break in the level.

a beach with an abrupt drop-off

When might precipitous be a better fit than steep?

While in some cases nearly identical to steep, precipitous applies to an incline approaching the vertical.

the river winds through a precipitous gorge

When is it sensible to use sheer instead of steep?

Although the words sheer and steep have much in common, sheer suggests an unbroken perpendicular expanse.

sheer cliffs that daunted the climbers

    How to use «Steep» in context?

    I think everyone has a definition of «steep» that they prefer. Here are four of mine:

    1. Steeper than it needs to be.

    2. Troublesome or difficult to climb.

    3. Made from hard, sharp slopes.

    4. Uneven or mountainous.

    When Americans think of «steep,» they likely envision paved roadways, long hills, and mountains. But what about mountains in other countries? There are great examples of steep slopes in countries such as Switzerland and the United Kingdom, where mountains are shaped by glaciers.
