Mt. の語源・成り立ち Etymology
「山」を意味する Mount を短く書いた形です。最後のピリオドは省略語であることを示します。
Mt. is a conventional written abbreviation of Mount when that word forms part of a mountain’s name. Mount itself entered English through Old French mont, ultimately from Latin mons, meaning “mountain.” The period traditionally shows that letters have been omitted, though punctuation practices can vary by style. Despite its shortened spelling, Mt. is generally read aloud as the complete word “Mount” before a proper name.
