Etymology: From *mn̥tolā, a possibly Italo-Celtic term considering cognate Irish méadal (“paunch, fat belly”), where "the original meaning of the Irish and Latin words seems to have been 'projecting part of the body'". Ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *men- "to protrude, to project, to stick out", hence emineō (“I project”) and mōns (“mountain”).
