rockband

/ˈrɔk.bɛnt/ noun

A rock formation that encircles a hill or mountain, separating other kinds of terrain that are above and below it.

Word Origin 'Rock' from Old English roccian 'to sway back and forth' — the motion of rocking. 'Band' from Old French bande 'troop,' but ultimately from Proto-Germanic *bandiz 'that which binds' — a band is a group bound together. So a rockband is literally 'a bound group that rocks.' The same root gives us 'bind,' 'bond,' 'bundle,' and 'ribbon.'

noun A rock formation that encircles a hill or mountain, separating other kinds of terrain that are above and below it. countable
