Etymology: French, Provençal and Gallo-Romance col < Latin collum neck, used of Parnassus by Statius, = jugum; so, obsolete Italian collo ‘altura, giogo’ (Della Crusca). Compare the corresponding northern English halse n.¹, hause lit. ‘neck’, and German joch yoke, jugum. From an early date the local col has been rendered in medieval Latin charters, etc., by collis ‘hill’, as well as by collum; and in the Italianizing of Piedmontese names, colle is now substituted, as in Colle di Tenda for the local Col de Tenda, Provençal lou côu de Tendo.

1. A marked depression in the summit-line of a mountain chain, generally affording a pass from one slope to the other. A word belonging to the Romanic dialects of the Alps, which Alpine climbers and geologists have used of other regions.
