History
Via French montagnard (“mountaineer, mountain-dweller”), from Middle French montaigne from Old French montaigne from Early Medieval Latin montānia (“mountain”), a collective based on Latin mont- (“mountain”), from Proto-Italic *monts, from Proto-Indo-European *men- (“to stand out, to tower”). The French group was so called because they sat on the topmost benches.
