I guess there's a mountain with that name not too far from me. Mt. Monadnock, in New Hampshire. I have driven past it, but had no idea that was the name. It's also a real mountain, I think...It's both tall enough and has enough prominence to qualify as a mountain. I assume the name is due to the shape or something like that.
I would have to assume they named it that for a reason, it must be a monadnock
I would make no such assumptions. They name shit for the most random of reasons.
The mountain I am referring to is large enough to qualify as a mountain - including differing from the surrounding terrain enough to qualify aas a mountain.
Maybe a mountain can also be a monodnock? I am not exactly an expert on what is and isn't a monadnock. I just learned the word when you mentioned it.
Yeah, I should not make assumptions like that. You're right.
Someone may have learned that word as they were naming the mountains and went with it. There are many mountains in New Hampshire I believe
