Etymology: * From Medieval Latin promontorium, ultimately from Latin prōmuntūrium ("projecting headland"), from prō ("forward") + mōns ("mountain").
Meaning: * A high point of land that juts out into a body of water.
Origin: * The word "promontory" comes from the Late Latin word "promontorium," which itself is derived from the Latin word "prōmuntūrium." "Prōmuntūrium" literally means "projecting headland" and is formed from the combination of the Latin prefix "prō-" (meaning "forward") and the word "mōns" (meaning "mountain").
Usage: * The term "promontory" is used to describe any high point of land that juts out into a body of water, such as a peninsula, a cape, or a headland. It is often used to refer to coastal features that are particularly prominent or dramatic, such as the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa or the Point Reyes National Seashore in California.
