v.

c.1300, “to mount a horse;” mid-14c., “to rise up, ascend; fly,” from Old French monter “to go up, ascend, climb, mount,” from Vulgar Latin *montare, from Latin mons (genitive montis) “mountain” (see mount (n.)). Meaning “to set or place in position” first recorded 1530s. Sense of “to get up on for purposes of copulation” is from 1590s. Related: Mounted; mounting.
n.

“hill, mountain,” mid-13c., from Anglo-French mount, Old French mont “mountain;” also perhaps partly from Old English munt “mountain;” both the Old English and the French words from Latin montem (nominative mons) “mountain,” from PIE root *men- “to stand out, project” (cf. Latin eminere “to stand out;” Sanskrit manya “nape of the neck,” Latin monile “necklace;” Old Irish muin “neck,” Welsh mwnwgl “neck,” mwng “mane;” Welsh mynydd “mountain”).

“that on which something is mounted,” 1739, from mount (v.). The colloquial meaning “a horse for riding” is first recorded 1856.

mount (mount)
v. mount·ed, mount·ing, mounts
To prepare a specimen for microscopic examination, especially by positioning on a slide.
file system
To make a file system available for access.
Unix does this by associating the file system with a directory (the “mount point”) within a currently mounted file system. The “root” file system is mounted on the root directory, “/” early in the boot sequence. “mount” is also the Unix command to do this, “unmount” breaks the association.
E.g., “mount attaches a named file system to the file system hierarchy at the pathname location directory […]” — Unix manual page mount(8).
File systems are usually mounted either at boot time under control of /etc/rc (or one of its subfiles) or on demand by an automounter daemon.
Other operating systems such as VMS and DOS mount file systems as separate directory hierarchies without any common ancestor or root directory.
Apparently derived from the physical sense of “mount” meaning “attach”, as in “head-mounted display”, or “set up”, as in “always mount a scratch monkey, etc.”

Palestine is a hilly country (Deut. 3:25; 11:11; Ezek. 34:13). West of Jordan the mountains stretch from Lebanon far down into Galilee, terminating in Carmel. The isolated peak of Tabor rises from the elevated plain of Esdraelon, which, in the south, is shut in by hills spreading over the greater part of Samaria. The mountains of Western and Middle Palestine do not extend to the sea, but gently slope into plains, and toward the Jordan fall down into the Ghor. East of the Jordan the Anti-Lebanon, stretching south, terminates in the hilly district called Jebel Heish, which reaches down to the Sea of Gennesareth. South of the river Hieromax there is again a succession of hills, which are traversed by wadies running toward the Jordan. These gradually descend to a level at the river Arnon, which was the boundary of the ancient trans-Jordanic territory toward the south. The composition of the Palestinian hills is limestone, with occasional strata of chalk, and hence the numerous caves, some of large extent, found there.
