ine-pro From Middle English mountayne, mountain, montaigne, from muntaine, muntaigne, from montānia, a collective based on Latin montem (mountain), from Proto-Indo-European *monti (compare mynydd mountain, mat, 𐬨𐬀𐬙𐬌), from *men- (to project, stick out). Displaced native barrow (from beorg) and down (from dūn), and partially displaced non-native munt, from Latin mōns (whence mount).
