Etymology

From Middle English mountayne, mountain, montaigne, from Anglo-Norman muntaine, muntaigne, from Old French montaigne, from Vulgar Latin *mont?nea, feminine of *mont?neus (“mountainous”), alteration of Latin mont?nus, from m?ns (“mountain”), from Proto-Indo-European *monti (compare Welsh mynydd (“mountain”), Albanian mat (“bank, shore”), Avestan ????‎ (mati, “promontory”)), from *men- (“to project, stick out”). Displaced native Middle English berwe, bergh, from Old English beorg (whence English barrow); and partially displaced non-native Old English munt, from Latin mons (whence English mount).
